Elizabeth Holmes

There is no dream you can’t achieve. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

What I really want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do.

First they think you’re crazy, then they fight you, and then, all of a sudden, you change the world.

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

It’s not about eating healthy to lose weight. It’s about eating healthy to feel good.

If you said you had homosexual tendencies they sent you to a psychiatrist.

Depression is melancholy minus its charms.

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

It’s not just people who can’t find a job, or can’t fit in in society that struggle with depression sometimes.

I’ll drink water. Sometimes tomato juice, which I like. Sometimes orange juice, which I like. I’ll drink different things. But the Coke or Pepsi boosts you up a little.

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

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.

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?

A lot of people undermine their own anxiety because they’re like…nothing’s necessarily going wrong. It just happens and it’s just inside of you and that’s not something you should be ashamed of. It’s justified because it’s happening.

Vaccination is the medical sacrament corresponding to baptism.

I feel like there’s this glamour… where the woman who has a psychological illness is in fur, laid out on a chaise. Whereas in reality, a woman with mental illness or… is struggling with her psychological wellbeing is often in sweats and in a T-shirt that used to belong to her dad and is covered in food bits.
