I love quotes! One of my favs is by Jack kerouac which I think describes many of us in this community:
the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.

Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come out the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best things you will ever do. Stephen Fry
