The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape. – Leonard Cohen
I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. Thats what sitting on your ass does to your face. – Leonard Cohen
I have nothing against the Queen of England. Even in my heart I never resented her for not being Jackie Kennedy. She is, to my mind, a very gallant lady, victimized by whoever it is who designs the tops of her uniforms. – Leonard Cohen
To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nations sweetest dreams of itself. – Leonard Cohen
This is my depressed stance. When youre depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then youll start to feel better. If youre going to get any joy out of being depressed, youve got to stand like this. – Charles Monroe Schulz
In depression…faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no rememdy will come, not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul. – William Styron
