“Great cloud masses boiled up, immense in their quiet majesty. They seemed to drink up all the noise below, even the sound of the sea.
It was the height of summer and there was anger in the rays of the sun.”
― Yukio Mishima, Death in Midsummer and Other Stories

“It felt like a remnant of a dark cloud had wormed its way into my stomach.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running

“Some days you get up and you already know that things aren't going to go well. They're the type of days when you should just give in, put your pajamas back on, make some hot chocolate and read comic books in bed with the covers up until the world looks more encouraging. Of course, they never let you do that.”
― Bill Watterson, There's Treasure Everywhere

“It strikes me profoundly that the world is more often than not a bad and cruel place.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho
