“If you spend your whole life being depressed about life, you're wastin...” — C. K. Williams Quote

“If you spend your whole life being depressed about life, you're wasting it.”

“When you begin to write poems because you love language, because you love poetry. Something happens that makes you write poems. And the writing of poems is incredibly pleasurable and addictive.”

“I tended to write poems about both social and spiritual problems, and some problems one doesn't really want to solve, and so the problems themselves are solved. You certainly don't want to solve problems in poems that haven't been solved in the world.”

“I've felt depressed many times in my life, so I can draw on those times in my life when I need to.”

“I get depressed when things are not right.”

“My shrink said to me once when I used to get really overwhelmed and super depressed because I was really run down between kids and the company and there was just so much going on - she said, 'You know, you have to look after you in order for you to look after everybody else.'”
