“Are we just pretending to be unhappy to add drama to our lives so that  we seem somehow more substantial? I mean if you think about it, our  lives are embarrassingly easy. I mean, we’ve got plenty of money. We’ve  got friends. There are people out there who have real problems, you  know? Real reasons to be unhappy. I mean, I could be a coal miner dying  of black lung or something. You could be a Cincinnati crack-whore on  food stamps. Doesn’t it feel like we’re faking it? Our unhappiness?” -  Richard Dunn, Paper Man
