“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
― Stephen Fry

“From the passenger seat, Ronan began to swear at Adam. It was a long, involved swear, using every forbidden word possible, often in compound-word form. As Adam stared at his lap, penitent, he mused that there was something musical about Ronan when he swore, a careful and loving precision to the way he fit the words together, a black-painted poetry. It was far less hateful sounding than when he didn’t swear.
Ronan finished with, “For the love of … Parrish, take some care, this is not your mother’s 1971 Honda Civic.”
Adam lifted his head and said, “They didn’t start making the Civic until ’73.”

“It’s like being a fairy named Mary,” he goes on. “Or a vampire named Gampire,” I say. “Gampire isn’t even a proper name, Snow. You’re terrible at this game.”

“Чем дольше ты где-то, тем больше вокруг всякого такого, что стоило бы выбросить, но когда ты переберешься на новое место, ты возьмешь с собой все что угодно, кроме этого самого мусора, а значит, он больше принадлежит месту, чем людям, потому что не переезжает никогда, и в любом новом месте человек найдет клочки кого-то другого, а его клочки останутся тому, кто придет на его прежнее место обитания, и так происходит всегда и везде.”
― Mariam Petrosyan, Пустые гнезда
