A great loss brings up an emotional storm that opens up a hidden reservoir of childhood pain.

Pete Walker

There are times I am happy. There are times I am sad. But I always try to separate emotion from the need to reach for something stronger, deeper. And then no matter the emotion, I can reach for a stability that helps me accomplish what is the goal.

Troy Polamalu

I was only able to start changing my life when I realized my depression was not a malfunction. It's a signal. Your depression is a signal. It's telling you something.

Johann Hari

Pain is physical; suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

Even in your darkest moments, you are feeling something. If you're not feeling, you're simply just existing, and that isn't what living should be about.

Hiral

Many so-called disorders of the mind are simply disorders of thought.
