Susanna Kaysen Quotes About Depression

Quotes about: Depression

• Lunatics are similar to designated hitters. Often an entire family is crazy, but since an entire family can't go into the hospital, one person is designated as crazy and goes inside.

• Don’t ask me those questions! Don’t ask me what life means or how we know reality or why we have to suffer so much.
