“If 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.”
― Stephen Fry

“I cannot be with someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on me, someone who can’t love me.”
― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Darker

“Only people unhappy in the present seek to know the future.”
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

“I'm more than just a piece in their Games.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
