All my joys to this are folly
Naught so sweet as melancholy.

The Author's Abstract.Robert Burton
» Robert Burton - all quotes »
Hence, all you vain delights,
As short as are the nights
Wherein you spend your folly!
There's naught in this life sweet
But only melancholy;
O sweetest melancholy!John Fletcher
Sweet bird, that shunn'st the noise of folly,
Most musical, most melancholy!John Milton
Go! you may call it madness, folly;
You shall not chase my gloom away!
There 's such a charm in melancholy
I would not if I could be gay.Samuel Rogers
Hence vain deluding Joys,
The brood of Folly without father bred!John Milton
Melancholic and lovable is the trick, right? You've got to be able to show that you have these feelings. In the game of life, you get these feelings and how you deal with those feelings. What you do when you are trying to deal with a melancholy. A melancholy can be sweet. It's not a mean thing, but it's something that happens in life — like autumn.
