God knows, there's enough to worry about without worrying about worrying about things.
Edward Gorey
I am a person before I am anything else. I never say I am a writer. I never say I am an artist...I am a person who does those things.

A small and sinister snow seems to be coming down relentlessly at present. The radio says it is eventually going to be sleet and rain, but I don't think so I think it is just going to go on and on, coming down, until the whole world...etc. It has that look.
Edward Gorey
I tend to be rather inconsequential and trail off.
Edward Gorey
Only art means anything.
Edward Gorey
...my least favorite actress of all time, Helena Bonham Carter. I find her lack of a neck very off-putting and especially her acting.
Edward Gorey
If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. I'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. Sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. As Schubert said, there is no happy music. And that's true, there really isn't. And there's probably no happy nonsense, either.
Edward Gorey
