“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

“But in my humble opinion, a house needs a good party once in a while; remind folks it exists.”
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

“If someone gives you so-called good advice, do the opposite; you can be sure it will be the right thing nine out of 10 times.”
― Anselm Feurbah

“Only people unhappy in the present seek to know the future.”
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton
