Years of scars, lipstick and tears, and every day the dawn comes on we turn our eyes up in surprise, saying, "There's that goddamn sun again.”
― Warren Ellis, Do Anything Volume 1

“I had a dreary, depressed feeling so deep in my soul that I was almost ready to believe I had one.”

“Some very considerable part of the gestural language of public places that had once belonged to cigarettes now belonged to phones.”
