Susan Sontag

My brain and my heart are really important to me, I don’t know why I wouldn’t seek help to have those things be as healthy as my teeth. I go to the dentist. So why wouldn’t I go to a shrink?

I keep healthy and I’m always very active and always have been so. I don’t really see any signs of aging yet. Music keeps you young.

As a teen, I was both anorexic and bulimic.

I believe we have to nip Ebola in the bud before it spreads through Africa and to other countries.

We can’t let people down when they can’t get any medical care, when they’re sick and don’t have money to go to a doctor. You help them.

You may feel depressed, but it can’t be so depressing that you can’t move. No, I would say that people create in moments when they are elated about expressing their depression!

The patient is not likely to recover who makes the doctor his heir.

The healthy stomach is nothing if it is not conservative. Few radicals have good digestions.

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

That is all I want in life: for this pain to seem purposeful.

I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

You don’t see the mental illness: It’s not a mass; it’s not a cyst. But it’s there. Why do you need to prove it?

I say there’re no depressed words just depressed minds.

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate – treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn’t be sustainable for me, and that’s what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.
