"If you’re doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there’d be no point. I’m trying to think if there’s sunny nonsense. Sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. As Schubert said, there is no happy music. And that’s true, there really isn’t. And there’s probably no happy nonsense, either."

— Edward Gorey on nonsense, quoted from  “Edward Gorey and the Tao of Nonsense.” The New Yorker, November 9, 1992.
