"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain
too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives
everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that
can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis
the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and
whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto
death." — Thomas Paine

"’What’s wrong?’ ‘Why don’t you get out and do something?’ ‘You’d feel
better if you got up and took a shower.’ When I’ve started down that
long black spiral into depression, such well-intentioned comments are
more hurtful than helpful. The first two simply have no answer, and all
three require answers or action of which I’m incapable and thus feed my
feeling of hopelessness. The words that are most welcome are ‘What can
I do to help?’ Sometimes I need a hug, or someone to do a specific task
that I feel is overwhelming, or just a quiet presence in the room,
someone not trying to ‘fix’ the situation or supply answers or
suggestions for improvement. Sometimes I just need someone to be there,
so the dark isn’t quite so big." — Kathy Cronkite, "On the Edge of
Darkness: Conversations About Conquering Depression"

“In a strange way, I had fallen in love with my depression. Dr.
Sterling was right about that. I loved it because I thought it was all
I had. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me
worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant
offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my
existence at all was my agony.” —Elizabeth Wurtzel

“That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost
