"I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories."

My mood for today. Lost for words again. Argh.


"For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
-John Greenleaf Whittier

It is quite gratifying to feel guilty if you haven't done anything wrong: how noble! Whereas it is rather hard and certainly depressing to admit guilt and to repent.
-Hannah Arendt

Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
-Malcolm X

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
-W. M. Lewis

I wanted to die, then. I wanted to destroy the body I was trapped in, become what she was, no matter what it took. No matter how much mutilation or pain. But he looked away, at me. He pulled my face down and pressed my lips against his like he was almost trying to suffocate us both.
-"The Rose and the Beast: Fairyales Retold" by Francesca Lia Block

We couldn't imagine the emptiness of a creature who put a razor to her wrists and opened her veins, the emptiness and the calm.
-"The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenides

If they tell you that she died of sleeping pills you must know that she died of a wasting grief, of a slow bleeding at the soul.
-Clifford Odets

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
-Phil Donahue

Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live.
-Charles Caleb Colton

To make yourself something less than you can be - that too is a form of suicide.
-Benjamin Lichtenberg

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
-Arthur Schopenhauer

"I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories."
-Conor Oberst

"Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it."
-Elizabeth Wurtzel

"That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key."

"This is my depressed stance. When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this."
-Charlie brown

"The best cure for worry, depression, melancholy, brooding, is to go deliberately forth and try to lift with one's sympathy the gloom of somebody else."
