“...Sula was wrong. Hell ain't things lasting forever. Hell is change." Not only did men leave and children grow up and die, but even the misery didn't last. One day she wouldn't even have that. This very grief that had twisted her into a curve on the floor and flayed her would be gone. She would lose that too.
Why, even in hate here I am thinking of what Sula said.”

“Why I am opposed to antidepressants. Because I think depression has something to tell me. Because often depression is an appropriate reaction.

Because I am terrified of changing the functioning of my brain in any way.

Because I believe depression is "me", and that without it I would not be "me".

Because I can't imagine my life without the time off I get from periodic depression.

These are the typical idiotic reasons people give for not wanting to feel better. So in this respect, I am quite normal.”

“بجدية كافحت لأكون جاداً أكثر ، أن أعيش وأبدع . ولكن عند كل محاوله جديدة أفقد عقلي ، أهرب إلى ظلالي كما يهرب الفرد إلى المعبد .”
