“An obsessive attention to the news, I've realized, only serves to pain...” — Josh Radnor Quote

“An obsessive attention to the news, I've realized, only serves to paint a picture of the world as a throbbing blob of dysfunction, most news falling somewhere on a scale from disappointing to calamitous.”

“It really shocks me when I encounter people who think kindness doesn't matter. Because I think it's pretty much the only thing that matters.”

“I think the word 'earnest' kind of has a negative connotation on some level. I think one of the things that's happened is that being cynical is somehow conflated with being sophisticated. I think that's problematic, to say the least.”

“Basically, I'm a people pleaser who has a knack for disappointing.”

“The AAC at Royal Melbourne was a wonderful memory for me. I had a slightly disappointing finish, but I gained a lot of experience by playing in the last group.”

“I don't know what's so disappointing about being alive, but I will say that the longer I'm alive, the more I appreciate not dying.”
