The Mind and the Moon Quotes

“It’s hard to describe depression to someone who’s never experienced it. Now I would say it’s like you’re in a boat on the ocean with no land in sight, and the ocean is made of pain. You don’t want to dip your oar in the water, because you’ll splash yourself and be in even more agony than you are already. So you sit and do nothing. And then the boat starts to leak.”
― Daniel Bergner, The Mind and the Moon: My Brother’s Story, the Science of Our Brains, and the Search for Our Psyches
