Conservatives used to believe in confronting hard truths, not succumbing to comforting fairy tales. Some still do. ↗

I think we simply all like to project ourselves into somebody else - somebody who is better-looking, richer, smarter. It's comforting. It's escapism, and that, of course, is what the movies are supposed to be all about. Ultimately, I think it's just part of human nature to pretend. ↗

I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened. ↗

That time is important. It gives a comforting illusion of permanence not found in running by the mile. ↗

I like singer-songwriters, and I find sad songs comforting rather than depressing. It makes you realise you're not alone in the world. ↗

There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now. ↗

I think one reason TV has always done well is because there is something comforting where you kind of know what you're going to be taken through. ↗

I used to like to break into other people's houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone's empty house. ↗

I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know; that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay. ↗

There once was a girl who found herself dead. She spent her days peering over the ledge of heaven, her chin in her palm. She was bored as a brick, hadn't adjusted yet to the slower pace of heavenly life. Her sister would look up at her and wave, and the dead girl would wave back but she was took far away for her sister to see. The dead girl thought her sister might be writing her notes, but it was too long a trip to make for a few scattered words here and there so she let them be. And then, one day, her earthbound sister finally realized she could hear music up there in heaven, so after that, everything her sister needed to tell her she did through her clarinet and each time she played, the dead girl jumped up (no matter what else she was doing), and danced. ↗
