• Creating doesn't make us unhappy, unhappiness makes us creative. To create is to live, and in living, we want only to creat more, to set our foundations depper and reach higher toward the sky. If sadness is what makes us creative, then sadness is nothing else but life.

• But the morbidity of sorrow-not cultivated sorrow, but that which comes inevitably-is often a productive sluggishness, a time when the soul slows down, too weary to go on, and takes stock of where it's been and where it's going. During these gloomy pauses, we often discover parts of ourselves we never knew we possessed, talents that, properly activated, enrich our lives.

• Me di cuenta de que había concedido a mi enfermedad el señorío sobre mí. Al considerar a mi depresión como un déspota que me sometía a sus salvajes caprichos, pude eludir la responsabilidad, dar rienda suelta a mi deseo egoísta de dejar que mi ego floreciera sin trabas, sin estar obligado ante nadie. Pero esto no era libertad. Era una prisión, una celda que me separaba de quienes se preocupaban por mí y de quienes podrían haberse preocupado por mí.
