One touch is worth ten thousand words.

Philip Martin has written a wise, compassionate, and nurturing guide through the self-oppression of depression.

You are no more at fault for having depression than if you had asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or any other illness.

It is an irony that the more possessive you are, the more love you demand, the less you receive, while the more freedom you give, the less you demand, the more love you will receive.

The irony of love is that it guarantees some degree of anger, fear and criticism.

The only normal people are the ones we haven't gotten to know yet.

As powerful as the power of positive thoughts are, depression biologically interferes with the brain's ability to maintain a positive thought for any period of time. Like the farmer who casts his seed upon the rocks, all the positive thoughts in the world presented to the depressed mind will not bear fruit.
