Quote

Getting better from depression demands a lifelong commitment. I've made that commitment for my life's sake and for the sake of those who love me.

You succeed and accomplish and accomplish; the problem is when you stop, you become depressed because you could never do enough.

I still get awful depression. It's who I am.

Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of a world that said it was alright for people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left.

You have to understand that when things go wrong in your life, it doesn't mean you need to quit. It means you need to get stronger and change your plan.

I grew up in the heart of the Depression.

I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.

I was always depressed growing up. There wasn't a reason for it, I just was. I was sad and morose. I cried a lot, I wrote a lot, and I read a lot; and that was how I dealt with it.

Resolve never to quit, never to give up, no matter what the situation.
