The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
It is one of the secrets of Nature in its mood of mockery that fine weather lays heavier weight on the mind and hearts of the depressed and the inwardly tormented than does a really bad day with dark rain sniveling continuously and sympathetically from a dirty sky. ~Muriel Spark, Territorial Rights, 1979
Weather forecast for tonight: dark. ~George Carlin
