My life could have been so grim... really, really grim.

What is ugly about life is that it so often only provides uneasy half solutions that are so seldom pure and tragic ones.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

We must look not to the negative (the misery, the bestial in life), although we undergo it and sympathize with it, but rather to the burgeoning life around us, which is strengthened by the negative.

Grime is still quite new. You can't expect national radio and national media to get it straight away.

Just because a situation is grim doesn't mean you don't have every right to smile.

So many people are walking around looking so grim all the time. I just never understand why.

There is nothing, really, that I wouldn't write about, and I do write about a lot of grim things.

Life is filled with detours and dead ends, trials and challenges of every kind. Each of us has likely had times when distress, anguish, and despair almost consumed us.

Well, life is dark, isn't it? Mostly, it's dreadful. At the same time, death is funny too. I mean, look at the fuss we make of it.
