Ned Vizzini
I can't eat and I can't sleep. I'm not doing well in terms of being a functional human, you know?
Ned Vizzini
Some of the most profound truths about us are things that we stop saying in the middle.
Ned Vizzini
Sometimes I just think depression's one way of coping with the world. Like, some people get drunk, some people do drugs, some people get depressed. Because there's so much stuff out there that you have to do something to deal with it.
Ned Vizzini
Nobody had told me I was common.
Ned Vizzini
That's what gets me through the day. Knowing that I could do it. That I'm strong enough to do it and I can get it done.
Ned Vizzini
One thing I've learnt recently: how to think nothing. Here's the trick: don't have any interest in the world around you, don't have any hope for the future, and be warm.
