Wisdom from someone who'd suffered from depression

Wisdom from someone who'd suffered from depression | “This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” | image tagged in winston churchill quote template,depression,fight,history,metaphor | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I love how it applies to internal as well as external struggles.

I agree. I had a similar phrase I used when surviving trauma. I really like the quote in your meme.

Yes, I find Churchill inspiring: he did such great things while also being a person who struggled and had deep flaws.

And another quote I like (from a fantasy novel by Lois McMaster Bujold):

“the gods did not desire flawless souls, but great ones. I think that very darkness is where the greatness grows from, as flowers from the soil. I am not sure, in fact, if greatness can bloom without it.”

Hmm. It's often seen that greatness has sprung from sorrow. But I'd hate to think greatness requires darkness in its germination.

Maybe that's just what we tell the people we know who have suffered in the dark, so that we can all find meaning.

Yeah, I thought about that, too. I just wish there wasn't so much suffering, you know?
