Quote of the Day (Edward Abbey, on Melancholy and Action)

“As a confirmed melancholic, I can testify that the best and maybe only antidote for melancholia is action. However, like most melancholics, I suffer also from sloth.” —Western essayist, novelist, and environmental advocate  Edward Abbey (1927-1989), A Voice Crying in the Wilderness (Vox Clamantis in Deserto): Notes from a Secret Journal (1989)
