Andrew Solomon Quotes

People … don’t want to be cured or changed or eliminated. They want to be whoever it is that they’ve come to be Picture Quote #1

We cannot bear a pointless torment, but we can endure great pain if we believe that it’s purposeful Picture Quote #1

Depression is the flaw in love. There’s no such thing as love without the anticipation of loss. And that specter of despair can be the engine of intimacy Picture Quote #1

You need to take the traumas and make them part of who you’ve come to be, and you need to fold the worst events of your life into a narrative of triumph, evincing a better self in response to things that hurt Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, people end up thankful for what they mourned. You cannot achieve this state by seeking tragedy, but you can keep yourself open more to sorrow’s richness than to unmediated despair. Tragedies with happy endings may be sentimental tripe, or they may be the true meaning of love Picture Quote #1

Your gender identity is who you are. Sexual identity is who you bounce that off of Picture Quote #1

When you believe that you cannot stitch your own heart back together, go to work on the hearts of other people; there is no surer way to repair yourself than to repair them Picture Quote #1

Our needs are our greatest asset. It turns out I’ve learned to give all the things that I need Picture Quote #1

Depression is the flaw in love. To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose, and depression is the mechanism of that despair Picture Quote #1

I had always thought of myself as fairly tough and fairly strong and fairly able to cope with anything. And then I had a series of personal losses. My mother died. A relationship that I was in came to end, and a variety of other things went awry Picture Quote #1

I found myself losing interest in almost everything, I didn’t want to do any of the things I had previously wanted to do and I didn’t know why. Everything there was to do seemed like too much work. The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality, and it was vitality that seemed to seep away from me in that moment Picture Quote #1

I can see the beauty of glass objects fully at the moment when they slip from my hand Picture Quote #1

I’m not studying everything that can go wrong. What I’m studying is how much love there can be, even when everything appears to be going wrong Picture Quote #1
