• The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You'll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling.

• All these relics gave... Thornfield Hall the aspect of a home of the past: a shrine to memory. I liked the hush, the gloom, the quaintness of these retreats in the day; but I by no means coveted a night's repose on one of those wide and heavy beds: shut in, some of them, with doors of oak; shaded, others, with wrought old-English hangings crusted with thick work, portraying effigies of strange flowers, and stranger birds, and strangest human beings, all which would have looked strange, indeed, by the pallid gleam of moonlight.

• Gloom and sadness are poison to us, and the origin of hysterics. You are right in thinking that this disease is in the imagination; you have defined it perfectly; it is vexation which causes it to spring up, and fear that supports it.

• Enter upon thy paths, O year!
  Thy paths, which all who breathe must tread,
  Which lead the Living to the Dead,
  I enter; for it is my doom
  To tread thy labyrinthine gloom;
  To note who round me watch and wait;
  To love a few; perhaps to hate;
  And do all duties of my fate.

• Sombre and rich, the skies;
  Great glooms, and starry plains.
  Gently the night wind sighs;
  Else a vast silence reigns.

• Pero, ¿qué hay de la vida, cuyo mar hambriento y amargo nos pisa los talones, y la penumbra de la noche sin sol cubre los días que ya no volverán? La ambición, el amor y todos los pensamientos que arden Los perdemos demasiado pronto, y sólo encontramos deleite En cáscaras marchitas de algún recuerdo muerto.

• Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock. "Now they are all on their knees," An elder said as we sat in a flock By the embers in hearth-side ease. We pictured the meek mild creatures where They dwelt in their strawy pen, Nor did it occur to one of us there To doubt they were kneeling then. So fair a fancy few would weave In these years! yet, I feel If someone said on Christmas Eve, "Come; see the oxen kneel, In the lonely barton by yonder coomb Our childhood used to know," I should go with him in the gloom, Hoping it might be so.

• I love this book! Cathy Malkasian's Percy Gloom swirls with echoes of cartoon landscapes from the past and present. You can almost hear Percy Gloom's meek, docile little voice. Her writing is so full of wit and charm that we, like the title character, walk dutifully to the edge and fall in. And like Percy, we are rewarded equally with night terrors and secret treasures.

• Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.

• Fear results in fight or flight. Anxiety creates doom and gloom. Fear is the pulse that pounds when you see a coiled rattlesnake in your front yard. Anxiety is the voice that tells you, Never, ever, for the rest of your life, walk barefooted through the grass. There might be a snake...somewhere.

• El golf no puede jugarse con ira ni con excesos emocionales. La mitad de las pelotas de golf que golpean los aficionados lo hacen, si no con rabia, seguramente con perplejidad, con melancolía, con cinismo o incluso con histeria: todos esos excesos emocionales deben ser contenidos por el profesional. Por eso el equilibrio es uno de los ingredientes esenciales del golf. Los profesionales recorren invariablemente el campo flemáticos, sean cuales sean las emociones que bullen en su interior, con el aspecto sombrío pero plácido y aburrido de los vaqueros, flojos de cuerpo en sus monturas, que llevan dos meses cuidando el mismo rebaño.

• Pero mi melancolía no disminuía. Sabía que había tenido un mal sueño y me quedé en la oscuridad intentando recordarlo. En cuanto cerré los ojos, estaba con los muertos. Hacían cosas que las palabras no pueden expresar. Decían locuras. ("Hanka")

• Nada es tan intolerable para el hombre como estar completamente en reposo, sin pasión, sin negocios, sin entretenimiento, sin preocupaciones. Es entonces cuando se reconoce vacío, insuficiente, dependiente, ineficaz. De las profundidades de su alma surgen ahora a la vez el aburrimiento, la melancolía, la tristeza, el disgusto, el resentimiento y la desesperación.

  Blaise Pascal

• Los árboles bañaban sus grandes cabezas en las ondas de la mañana, mientras que sus raíces se hundían profundamente en la penumbra; excepto donde los rayos del sol rompían contra sus tallos, o se deslizaban en largas corrientes a través de sus avenidas, bañando de un tono más brillante todas las hojas sobre las que fluía; revelando el rico marrón de las hojas marchitas y los piñones caídos, y los delicados verdes de las largas hierbas y los diminutos bosques de musgo que cubrían el canal sobre el que pasaba en los inmóviles ríos de luz.

• Conversation opens our views, and gives our faculties a more vigorous play; it puts us upon turning our notions on every side, and holds them up to a light that discovers those latent flaws which would probably have lain concealed in the gloom of unagitated abstraction.

• For in the night, unseen, a single warrior, In sombre harness mailed, Dreaded of man, and surnamed the Destroyer, The rampart wall has scaled. He passed into the chamber of the sleeper, The dark and silent room, And as he entered, darker grew, and deeper, The silence and the gloom.
