"i'm an irishman. the irish are pessimistic. where i'm from, we have a saying: if you expect a kick in the balls and get a slap to the face, well then, it's a victory!"

"An ache was on the top of his stomach, an apprehension that was like a sick thought. It was a Weltschmerz-- which we used to call "Welshrats" -- the world sadness that rises into the soul like a gas and spread despair so that you probe for the offending event and can find none."

- East of Eden, john steinbeck
