Depression Formed

Famous quotes containing the words depression and/or formed:

    “During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    “This is the day when people reciprocally offer, and receive, the kindest and the warmest wishes, though, in general, without meaning them on one side, or believing them on the other. They are formed by the head, in compliance with custom, though disavowed by the heart, in consequence of nature.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
