“I've had a tremendous problem with depression in my life. I'd rather not talk about it, because it's over. But depression is real.”

“The resistance to praying is like the resistance of tightly clenched fists. This image shows a tension, a desire to cling tightly to yourself, a greediness which betrays fear.”

“The fruits of your labors may be reaped two generations from now. Trust, even when you don't see the results.”

“As bad as it feels, it's familiar to you. And the depression itself is making you unable to reach out. So, I've definitely experienced that in my life.”

“I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.”

“We know how to treat depression, we know how to treat mental illness, and we have not had the political will in our country to make it happen.”
