It would no doubt be very sentimental to argue - but I would argue it nevertheless - that the peculiar combination of joy and sadness in bell music - both of clock chimes, and of change-ringing - is very typical of England.

A. N. Wilson

Music, Doubt, Joy

Jane Campion

James Belushi

Great, Power, Smile

Mike Mills

Life, Work, Great

I would hate to think I'm promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you're taught to feel shame about.

Mike Mills

Love, Work, Family

Meghan O'Rourke

Thought, Fact, Getting
