Goodreads Quote of the Day for Monday
Melancholy is sadness that has taken on lightness.
August 7, 1957: On this day, Italo Calvino published his letter of resignation from the Italian Communist Party. He never joined another political party, but he did write a fantasy novel, The Baron in the Trees, about political disillusionment.
