Socrates

We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime.

Slanderers do not hurt me because they do not hit me.

As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent.

Call no man unhappy until he is married.

By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

An honest man is always a child.

I’m struggling just to get through the days. I think a lot of people are.

Health is certainly extremely important, and we’ve done a number of things at Facebook to help improve global health and work in that area, and I am excited to do more there, too.

It was against my principles and all, but I was feeling so depressed I didn’t even think. That’s the whole trouble. When you’re feeling very depressed, you can’t even think.

You have good days and bad days, and depression’s something that, y’know, is always with you.

At the root of this dilemma is the way we view mental health in this country. Whether an illness affects your heart, your leg or your brain, it’s still an illness, and there should be no distraction.

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

I believe we have to nip Ebola in the bud before it spreads through Africa and to other countries.

Need a whole new syntax for fatigue on days like this.

When individuals have access to the information about their bodies they can begin to change outcomes.

There’s not shame in dealing with these things. There’s no shame in having to fight everyday.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

In the medical community, you would never deny a diabetic his insulin ever. But for some reasons, when someone needs a serotonin inhibitor, they’re immediately crazy or something. And I don’t know, it’s a very interesting double standard that I often don’t have the ability to talk about but I certainly feel no shame about.

I keep healthy and I’m always very active and always have been so. I don’t really see any signs of aging yet. Music keeps you young.

Depression is melancholy minus its charms.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
