Bob Mould Quotes

It seems as if life and hope must cease together.

Emptiness has its solace in that there's nothing left to take.

Keep walking. Hot night right now, right here. All you have is what you are. All you want is much too much. All you get is so much less. All you feel is nothing. All you see is darkness. All you know is senseless and all you can do about it is ride.

There is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.

Oblivion seemed the only reasonable option.

You have nothing to lose. You had nothing to begin with.

You do not defend a world that is already lost.

All hope abandon, ye who enter here!

My sweetest hope is to lose hope.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!

I am about to die, God calls me... I have scarcely strength enough to support the last days that remain of my miserable life... I see no salvation for the country. I believe everything is lost forever. If there were a single sacrifice I could make - my life, my happiness or my honour – believe me, I would not hesitate; but I am convinced the sacrifice would be useless. Since I am unable to secure the happiness of my country, I refuse to rule it. Further, the tyrants have taken my native land from me and therefore I have no longer any country for which to make a sacrifice

When you are debilitated, and you're very depressed, and you believe there's no hope, you cannot get a better potpourri of down.

For a long time, I have hoped for better days, but alas, today it is necessary for me to lose all hope. My poor wife suffers more and more. I do not think it is possible to be any weaker.

It is sad when people can't connect, and the sense of desperation that you feel when there is nothing to look forward to.

No one can really relate to somebody who has given up entirely.

When you're depressed, there's no calendar. There are no dates, there's no day, there's no night, there's no seconds, there's no minutes, there's nothing. You're just existing in this cold, murky, ever-heavy atmosphere, like they put you inside a vial of mercury.

But by the time that I had nothing left, I myself was the lightest thing of all for fate to get rid of.

Shouldn't the world stop? Don't they know what has happened to me?

When you got nothin' / You got nothin' to lose.
