Quotes by Ted Neill (?)

“I had heard someone on the radio once say that being depressed was like having your hand slammed in the door, over and over, but without even the relief that might come when the door pulls back for another swing. It’s that moment of impact, shock that is prolonged, interminably.”
― Ted Neill, Two Years of Wonder
