People have only two or three adjectives to describe people in the public eye. And that's okay. As long as those adjectives aren't train wreck, mess, terrible.

When I was at drama school, people weren't taking pictures of themselves every five minutes. So I didn't realise how I looked. It was only when people started taking pictures of themselves that I looked at myself and thought: 'Oh my God, I look really miserable.' Even when I'm happy I look sad.

Diane Morgan

Miserable are the persons who do not have something beyond themselves to search for.

What will break me into a million pieces so that I am beyond repair, beyond usefulness?

Suzanne Collins

Roads do not upgrade or maintain themselves. Bridges do not repair themselves or rebuild themselves.

Martin O'Malley

... nothing seems completely to differentiate the poor but poverty. We find no adjectives to fit them, as a whole, only those of which Want is the mother. "Miserable" covers many; "shabby" most, and I am sadly aware that, in a large majority of minds, "disagreeable" includes them all.
