“My peak? Would I even have one? I hardly had had anything you could call a life. A few ripples. some rises and falls. But that's it. Almost nothing. Nothing born of nothing. I'd loved and been loved, but I had nothing to show. It was a singularly plain, featureless landscape. I felt like I was in a video game. A surrogate Pacman, crunching blindly through a labyrinth of dotted lines. The only certainty was my death.”
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

“هل هذا هو ما عليه الاكتئاب؟ الشعور بالغرق لأن اتصالك بالله قد انقطع وقد تركت وحيدًا لتطفو فى فضاء مائع أسود، مثل رائد فضاء انفصل عن مركبته وانقطع عن كل مايربطه بالأرض؟”
― Elif Shafak, Black Milk: On Writing, Motherhood, and the Harem Within

“You don’t have a soul, Doctor. You are a soul. You have a body, temporarily.”

“يقولون: إن المرض الوحيد الذي يصحو فيه المريض مرهقاًبعد نوم تسع ساعات كاملة هو الاكتئاب ..كل الأمراض الأخرى - بما فيها الدرن والسرطان - يصحو مريضها من التوم أفضل حالاً..”
