2. "It's so difficult to describe depression to someone who's never been there, because it's not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling."
— J.K. Rowling
Suggested by Mollyanne Bryan, via Facebook.

3. "In addition to my other numerous acquaintances, I have one more intimate confidant… My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known — no wonder, then, that I return the love."
— Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or: A Fragment of Life
Suggsted by Camilla Møldrup Jensen, via Facebook

4. "I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."
— Stephen Chbosky, Perks of Being a Wallflower
