“During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. No small talk, no anecdotes. Nothing can be risked on the board of talk. Because the inner voice is so urgent in its own discourse: How shall I live? How shall I manage the future? Why should I go on?”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The soul is a very perfect judge of her own motions, if your mind doesn’t dictate to her.”

—Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
