“كيف أشفق على الذي يبدد ألمه في الشكاية والتظلم فلا يبقى منه ما يستدعي الشفقة ؟ كل شفقتي تتجه إليك أنت الذي لا تشكو مع أن ألمك صامت لا حد له ولا نهاية .”

“Some friends don't understand this. They don't understand how desperate I am to have someone say, I love you and I support you just the way you are because you're wonderful just the way you are. They don't understand that I can't remember anyone ever saying that to me. I am so demanding and difficult for my friends because I want to crumble and fall apart before them so that they will love me even though I am no fun, lying in bed, crying all the time, not moving. Depression is all about If you loved me you would.”
― Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
