"If a person holds no ambitions in this world, he suffers unknowingly. If a person holds ambitions, he suffers knowingly, but very slowly."

"Here is the tragedy: when you are the victim of depression, not only do you feel utterly helpless and abandoned by the world, you also know that very few people can understand, or even begin to believe, that life can be this painful. There is nothing I can think of that is quite as isolating as this."

"I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor."

"A lot of you cared, just not enough."

"Life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

"Were prayers of murderers, when fighting on the “right side” of the war, ever heard—let alone answered?"
