“Listen
to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when
you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project
them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because
it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food
itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”

Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression
“My
muscles informed me they did not want to go through any more exercise today. So
I suggest that maybe he should let me off this time. He laughed, and I'm pretty
sure it was at me...not with me.
"Why
is that funny?"
"Oh,"
he said, his smile dropping. "You were serious."
"Of
course I was! Look, I've technically been awake for two days. Why do we have to
start this training now? Let me go to bed." I whined. "It's just one
hour."
"How
do you feel right now?"
"I
hurt like hell."
"You'll
feel worse tomorrow."
"So?"
"So,
better get a jump on it while you still feel...not as bad."
"What
kind of logic is that?" I retorted.”

It
was a Scotch pot. And I don't miss it.”

“As
night fell, Yamamoto, aboard the huge battleship Yamato, steamed eastward at
full speed into the night. Far ahead the destroyers went to flank speed to
search for the US carriers. Lookouts, with the best night-vision binoculars in
the world, swept the night horizon where the very dark sky meets the black
ocean. The faintest shape, the tiniest pinprick of light, would show there was
something out there, like the superstructure of a ship over the horizon. There
was nothing.”

Misjudgments to Powerful Leaders and Heroic Deeds, the Untold Story of the
Pacific War from Pearl Harbor to Midway
“Before
the first streaks of light at dawn on December 7, 275 miles north of Oahu, the
six (Japanese) carriers of the Striking Force turned into the southeast wind.
Pounding into heavy swells at high speed, the carriers pitched severely with
thunderous impact. The wind, surging seas, and roar of warming aircraft engines
made communications possible only by hand signals and handheld signal lamps.
Salt spray reached the high flight decks, and Commander Fuchida, the group
leader, was very concerned about the conditions for launching planes. If this
had been a training exercise the launch might have been delayed until
conditions improved. However, this was not an exercise, and there would be no
delay.”

“I
don't mind exercise but it's a private activity. Joggers should run in a wheel
- like hamsters - because I don't want to look at them. And I really hate
people who go on an airplane in jogging outfits. That's a major offense today,
even bigger than Spandex bicycle pants. You see eighty-year-old women coming on
the plane in jogging outfits for comfort. Well my comfort - my mental comfort -
is completely ruined when I see them coming. You're on an airplane, not in your
bedroom, so please! And I really hate walkathons: blocking traffic, people
patting themselves on the back. The whole attitude offends me. They have this
smug look on their faces as they hold you up in traffic so that they can give
two cents to some charity.”
