Sometimes bleak is good. Sometimes bleak is necessary. Some part of life is always bleak.

Claire Denis

People who really love you are the ones who stand firm by you when things are bleak.

Anuel AA

As a science fiction and fantasy writer, I used to love writing bleak, grimdark futures full of bleak, grimdark people. But I've found that as the world around me darkens, all I really want to do is grasp for more light.

Kameron Hurley

Yes, it looks bleak. But you are still alive now. You are alive with all the others, in this present moment. And because the truth is speaking in the work, it unlocks the heart. And there’s such a feeling and experience of adventure. It’s like a trumpet call to a great adventure. In all great adventures there comes a time when the little band of heroes feels totally outnumbered and bleak, like Frodo in Lord of the Rings or Pilgrim in Pilgrim’s Progress. You learn to say ‘It looks bleak. Big deal, it looks bleak.’

Joanna Macy

I don't walk around chuckling all the time. My outlook is very bleak. It's worse than bleak, it's apocalyptic.

Mark Leyner

I dont walk around chuckling all the time. My outlook is very bleak. Its worse than bleak, its apocalyptic.

Mark Leyner

Often, small things give me hope when big things feel so oppressively bleak.

Julien Baker

Family life was wonderful. The streets were bleak. The playgrounds were bleak. But home was always warm. My mother and father had a great relationship. I always felt 'safe' there.

Robert Cormier

I am always drawn to things that feel different to what I would experience at home: things that offer a combination of unfamiliarity and a sort of bleak glamour. I think the outback has that.

Louis Theroux

Philip Galanes has fashioned a novel both bleak and funny about a young man's struggle to sort out his troubled love: the too-strong love for his mother, the too-weak love for his suicidal father, and the all-consuming love of anonymous sexual encounters. Pointed and acute, this story tells of the narrator's many betrayals of others and their many betrayals of him. It exists in an uncomfortable moral space where the humor of terrible things sometimes outweighs, but never obscures, their poignancy.

Andrew Solomon

You can make bleak things funny but if you're glib about it, it doesn't work.

Russell Howard

I'm not a pessimist by nature. I'm not someone who sees things in a bleak way.

Nouriel Roubini

To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.

Sarah Paulson

I didn't actually know what the protesters in the West really wanted. It was fantastic here, so much freedom, and that was what they were calling musty, middle-class, and fascistic, a bleak period. Bleak was what the GDR was, and it alone had adopted, almost unchanged, Nazi Germany's methods of intimidation and ideas about propaganda and the use of force.
