“Burnout at its deepest level is not the result of some train wreck of examinations, long call shifts, or poor clinical evaluations. It is the sum total of hundreds and thousands of tiny betrayals of purpose, each one so minute that it hardly attracts notice. When a great ship steams across the ocean, even tiny ripples can accumulate over time, precipitating a dramatic shift in course. There are many Tertius Lydgates, male and female, inhabiting the lecture halls, laboratories, and clinics of today’s medical schools. Like latter-day Lydgates, many of them eventually find themselves expressing amazement and disgust at how far they have veered from their primary purpose.”
Richard Gunderman

Karin Johannisson
“Something is lost, but a person does not know what it is; this feeling is indescribable in words, and therefore, it can be experienced only as the emptiness.”
Karin Johannisson, Melankoliska rum: Om ångest, leda och sårbarhet i förfluten tid och nutid

Bodil Malmsten
“Jag skriver inte för att jag kan det, för att jag tycker det är lätt, jag gör det för att det är vad jag gör och skriver jag inte, mår jag inte bra. Jag är en som skriver och skriver jag inte, finns jag inte, är jag inte jag. Jag blir inte lycklig av att skriva, ibland är jag lycklig när jag skriver, men då vet jag inte om det; då är jag så inne i skrivandet att skrivandet är det enda jag vet. Det är som i livet, de lyckliga stunderna är när man inte är medveten om sig själv.”
Bodil Malmsten

Lewis Carroll
“I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.”
Lewis Carroll

Andrew Solomon
“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality and my life, as I write this, is vital even when sad. I may wake up sometime next year without my mind again; it is not likely to stick around all the time. Meanwhile, however, I have discovered what I would have to call a soul, a part of myself I could never have imagined until one day, seven years ago, when hell came to pay me a surprise visit. It's a precious discovery. Almost every day I feel momentary flashes of hopelessness and wonder every time whether I am slipping. For a petrifying instant here and there, a lightning-quick flash, I want a car to run me over...I hate these feelings but, but I know that they have driven me to look deeper at life, to find and cling to reasons for living, I cannot find it in me to regret entirely the course my life has taken. Every day, I choose, sometimes gamely, and sometimes against the moment's reason, to be alive. Is that not a rare joy?”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
