“When I was in school doing sports, they told us that it was all Mind Over Body. Determination. Perseverance.
…That, when you think that you can’t run any faster, can’t go any further, you will still able to find that singular ounce of energy to take another step, go another metre further, run another millisecond faster. And suddenly, you see the finish line. And suddenly, you cross the finish line. And suddenly, you win the race.
They also told us that we couldn’t stop because we would fall back. Because others would catch up. Because we would lose.”
“Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It’s a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.”

“‘She’s never where she is,’ I said. ‘She’s only inside her head.’”
