“[W]hen your living conditions are stable, peaceful, and prosperous—no civil wars raging in your streets, no mass hunger, no epidemic disease, no vexation from poverty—making yourself miserable is a craft all its own, requiring imagination, vision, and ingenuity.”
“I’ve come to the conclusion that misery is an art form.”
“[T]he satisfaction people seem to find in it reflects the creative effort required to cultivate it.”
