Additional quotes by William Styron

It is a positive and active anguish, a sort of psychical neuralgia wholly unknown to normal life.

Loss in all of its manifestations is the touchstone of depression — in the progress of the disease and, most likely, in its origin.

The pain of severe depression is quite unimaginable to those who have not suffered it, and it kills in many instances because its anguish can no longer be borne. The prevention of many suicides will continue to be hindered until there is a general awareness of the nature of this pain.
