I'm always drawn to melancholy personalities.

Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.

Am I melancholy? I certainly have moments. I like to think there's a capacity for joy as well.

I'm so involved in melancholy.

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.

'Melancholy' is prettier than 'depression'; it connotes a kind of nocturnal grace. Makes one feel more innocently beleaguered.

I'm not writing just about melancholy stuff anymore, I made a point to cover a wide range of emotions.

There is a melancholy that stems from greatness.

Much melancholy has devolved upon mankind, and it is detestable to me that might will triumph in the end.
