“Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not all sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it’s damn hard to smile.”
- Judith Guest (b. 1936), American author: the psychiatrist (Berger) to Conrad Jarrett, in “Ordinary People”, 1976.
“Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.”
- William Golding (1911 – 1993), British author: “Pincher Martin”, 1956.
“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”
- C. S. Lewis (1898 – 1963), British author: opening words of “A Grief Observed”, 1961.
