Thought of the Day

[cwmackowski]

Heard a joke once: Man goes into doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But, Doctor...I am Pagliacci."

- Alan Moore, Watchmen

When I first saw the movie, this speech by Rorschach really stuck with me. It frequently comes to mind, even still.
