“No one can possibly have lived through the Great Depression without being scarred by it. No amount of experience since the depression can convince someone who has lived through it that the world is safe economically.”
Isaac Asimov
“Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals”
Clarence Darrow
“Mysteriously and in ways that are totally remote from natural experience, the gray drizzle of horror induced by depression takes on the quality of physical pain.”
William Styron
“If we admit our depression openly and freely, those around us get from it an experience of freedom rather than the depression itself.”
Dr. Rollo May
“I can fall into a depression just to experience something new.”
Nastassja Kinski
“I look at it very much like depression, ... All of us can get depressed. If somebody dies in the family, and you don't get depressed, there's something wrong with you. But there's a small percentage of people who have major depressive disorders. It's the same kind of thing with bulimia and anorexia; it's a spectrum.”
Walter Kaye
“"A lot of people, think that they can solve their problems with antidepressents, and that I've noticed, being a bigger issue. it really strips people of who they are. All your quirks, all your problems, even your depressions and failures, that's what makes you, you.”
Gerard Way
