Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“Oh! Be men, or be more than men. Be steady to your purposes and firm as a rock. This ice is not made of such stuff as your hearts may be; it is mutable and cannot withstand you if you say that it shall not. Do not return to your families with the stigma of disgrace marked on your brows. Return as heroes who have fought and conquered, and who know not what it is to turn their backs on the foe.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Andrew Solomon
“Antonin Artaud wrote on one of his drawings, "Never real and always true," and that is how depression feels. You know that it is not real, that you are someone else, and yet you know that it is absolutely true.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

Andrew Solomon
“Depression is the flaw in love. To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose, and depression is the mechanism of that despair.”
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

Jane Austen
“...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure.”
Jane Austen, Persuasion

Markus Zusak
“Sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you've finished just to stay near it.”
Markus Zusak
