you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why.
Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just
is, like the weather.
Try
to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re
going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s
hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest,
noblest, and best things you will ever do.”

“When
I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life
is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of

justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
