“La tristeza nos concilia con la realidad. Nos arroja al fluir de la vida. Nos coloca en el borde afilado de la experiencia. Aviva el latido del corazón, que palpita entre la fe y la duda. La tristeza dice a la mente atormentada: es bueno languidecer en lo incompleto. Canta al ánimo más lóbrego: aguanta la oscuridad porque ahí, en la sombría intimidad, irrumpirá la luz más brillante. Entona un canto a la desesperanza del alba, al esfuerzo triste; dice a ambos: permanece en tu desolación, de su vacío algo surgirá, una nueva conciencia, una nueva forma de ver y de ser.”

“I realized that I had granted my illness lordship over me. In viewing my depression as a despot subjecting me to its savage fancies, I was able to escape responsibility, to indulge fully my selfish desire to let my ego flourish unfettered, not obliged to anyone. But this wasn't freedom. It was a prison-a cell separating me from those who cared for me and for whom I might have cared.”

“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.”
