Maudlin Quotations
It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine.
Joseph Conrad
I write funny. If I can make my wife laugh, I know I'm on the right track. But yes, I don't like to get Maudlin. And I have a tendency towards it.
Gene Wilder
You've either got to find a way to make your continuing characters insteresting without making them maudlin or overwrought, or you've got to put more emphasis on the suspects.
Jane Haddam
