Perhaps depression is caused by asking oneself too many unanswerable questions.

He is the same chap who informed me that there are unusually high numbers of Mennonites who suffer from depression but nobody knows why. I said, Well, thank you for that! As cheerfully as if I was accepting a plate of homemade Christmas cookies from one of my students.

Sadness is what holds our bones in place.

There are no windows within the dark house of depression through which to see others, only mirrors.
