I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top. – John Keats
You speak of Lord Byron and me there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task. – John Keats
There is nothing stable in the world uproars your only music. – John Keats
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
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
