Quotes by Patricia Finney (?)

“I hate it when everyone is so noble and good in a story that you can't imagine it being true at all.”
― Patricia Finney, Feud

tags: books, good, hate, imagine, lady-grace, noble, story, true

“The truly awful thing about depression is that comfort is impossible because comfort is haughtily dismissed. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. And yet as you watch someone churning away at the bottom of their pit, never missing an opportunity to try and drag you down with them, you start to want to kick their arse. You want to scream “Do something, anything, but stop whining,” and cut off all food until they go out and earn it. But this you must never never do. Even thinking of it is bad. Somebody who is depressed isn’t selfish, or self-obsessed or lazy or arrogant or a drunk, they’re ill. They are.”
― Patricia Finney, Lucky Woman

“More problems solve themselves if only you can content yourself in patience and wait.”
