John Darnielle
Life is hard, you're tired, and there's disease. The strategy that works for children is to be delighted by the things that delight you.

John Darnielle
May we all emerge from winter with our strength renewed and any unwanted pieces left under the ice.
John Darnielle
Human beings are selfish by nature. Everything that happens to a child, you immediately grab your own child and say, I will never let that happen to you.
John Darnielle
Conservative forces in the South have a lot of power - almost dynastic - dating back many years.
John Darnielle
My work is more important than I am. I'm just some guy.
John Darnielle
I'm sort of a cavedweller: I miss my house, my yard, my kitchen, my wife. The trees. When I get home, I like to get down into my office neighborhood as soon as I can.
