“I think people who talk shit about Valentine’s day are lame, because they draw a very strange and specific line in the sand. Do you not go out and spend money on Christmas? Do you make all your own clothes and spin all your own yarn? Do you plant maze (corn)? People buy shit all the time. We all buy shit we don’t need and maybe that is not good, but when the one day out of the year where we buy shit but do so in the name of love and affection get shit on, I gotta call foul. Maybe it’s a hallmark holiday, but our whole fucking country works because people buy things and it’s not any lamer than a birthday!”
—Andrew Futral on Valentine’s Day
“It’s not that I wish my sadness to ever truly leave home inside my heart. I just want hope to someday get the master bedroom.”

“People think that the suicidal are sitting there suffering in their own pain all day, just stewing, sitting there getting ready to express it. But really, what the suicidal are doing is watching Wheel of Fortune. Perhaps having a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Maybe another bowl. Somewhere in the middle of the second bowl, the meaningless of the entire universe begins to close in on them.”
—John Darnielle
