<p>In depression$$$ this faith in deliverance$$$ in ultimate restoration$$$ is absent. The pain is unrelenting$$$ and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come---not in a day$$$ an hour$$$ a month$$$ or a minute. If there is mild relief$$$ one knows that it is only temporary; more pain will follow. It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.</p>

<p>I never said I hated the Marine Corps! I only said it was no place for a sensitive$$$ civilized$$$ self-respecting human being.</p>

<p>I get a fine warm feeling when I'm doing well$$$ but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let's face it$$$ writing is hell.</p>

<p>The pain of severe depression is quite unimaginable to those who have not suffered it$$$ and it kills in many instances because its anguish can no longer be borne. The prevention of many suicides will continue to be hindered until there is a general awareness of the nature of this pain.</p>

<p>The water of the river is the calmest$$$ where the deepest.</p>

<p>It is better to be quotable than to be honest.</p>

<p>Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.</p>

<p>Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.</p>

<p>What counts is not the years in your life but the life in your years.</p>

<p>Change is inevitable. Change for the better is a full time job.</p>
