The chaos of the mind cannot constitute a reply to the providence of the universe. All it can be is an awakening in the night, where all that can be heard is anguished poetry let loose. ― Georges Bataille, Literature and Evil I am reading a book called “Wintering,” by Katherine May. It’s subtitled “The Power of […]
In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes when you awake in the morning. – Carl Sandburg It is not easy to write about depression. From the perspective of the sufferer – in this case myself – there are several reasons to avoid doing so. First of all, on days […]
It isn’t typically very easy for a depressed person to explain said depression. This, I believe, is one reason the illness continues to be so misunderstood. Certainly, the sadness involved in learning about depressing things keeps a good bulk of people away from the subject entirely. Why wouldn’t one avoid this if they had the […]
