Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.

No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.

Vladimir Nabokov, cited in A Field Guide to Melancholy by Jacky Bowring

Song: “Cry, Cry” by Mazzy Star

If Everybody Likes What You Are Doing You’re Doing it Wrong

Something I said during my Design Matters interview, immortalized in hand-drawn lettering. (I’ve actually said it a zillion times, one of those times being earlier tonight in fact! Because it’s true.)
