“I hate most people. And I don’t want to, it’s an awful way to be. But the human race gives me no comfort. I find myself turning to books and films for comfort still. It’s repulsive, because one’s life consists of people, not things.”

British singer-songwriter and frontman of The Smiths, Morrissey is known for his poetic, melancholic lyrics that blend wit with social commentary. His work often explores themes of alienation, love, and working-class life, shaped by his distinctive voice and sharp observational style.
