A man that could look no way but downward, with a muckrake in his hand.
There is an infinite amount of hope in the universe ... but not for us.
I start out by believing the worst
The older books were quite light-hearted. But I think most of my novels do end on a deep note of pessimism. Shadows seem to be closing in. The final conclusion isn't that life is wonderful and everything is bright and cheery and in the garden.
I do tend to be an anxious fellow, and I do tend to see the world as a little darker than perhaps it genuinely is, but I also do appreciate much more than a rosy scenario, I appreciate straight news. I appreciate honesty.

I'm a massive pessimist.
There's a part of me that still hates everything, and my natural view default setting is still very cynical and dark
I'm a total pessimist.
Suddenly, we are putting ourselves as the next dinosaurs. It's rather dark; we have narrowed our dreams. It is time to restore our visions. And so it's not a nostalgic idea; it is based with this unconscious need to restore a kind of dynamic for tomorrow.
I've never been an optimist.
In the street, your mouth's a beak, big like a bird, and your future's bleak.
Nobody's interested in sweetness and light.
This is what old guys do. They get dark and pessimistic.
I have a grim outlook on the world, and in particular on humanity. Spent years denying it, but I am very misanthropic. And I live alone on a mountain for a reason.
The worst isn't done. The worst is just beginning, and there are no happy endings. (Samuel Tarly)
I lean towards traditionally what people would consider the more negative side of life.
I'm rarely optimistic.
You know what they say about hope. It breeds eternal misery!
I am an optimist. I believe the future is bright. I think people who see life painted in dark colors are the ones who do not take ownership.
I'm very pessimistic.
I'm a cynical person who's normally attracted to the dark side of things.
I've always been a glass-half-empty sort of person.
I was imbued from a very early age with a sense of doom.
I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.
