Yeah, prolly.

In one of Asimov's Hugo Winner books, he tells this story. Unfortunately I don't remember the SF author's name.

Some fan to author: Your stories can be depressing. Are you like that in real life?

SF author: On the contrary. I have the heart of a little boy...



...in a jar of formaldehyde on my desk.
