“Those war movies always do that to me. I don't think I could stand it if I had to go to war. I really couldn't. It wouldn't be too bad if they'd just take you out and shoot you or something, but you have to stay in the Army so goddam long.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“It's a mess, ain't it Sheriff
If it ain't it'll do til a mess gets here”
― Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

“There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Bean Trees
