Quotable
I think the following quote is pretty good in describing part of the relationship between art and life and some of thepotentially unpredictable aspects of depression, or at the very least it is very well written. It is taken from this good article on the recent suicide attempt by Owen Wilson, that I saw via Jeffrey Overstreet's movie and arts blog.
"Art is always informed by life, but one doesn't automatically predict the other. Depression is a implacably private thing, a fog comprised of biography, present-tense experience and body chemistry. It's as unpredictable as the elements and as unknowable as God. It's an abyss that you fall into, and you either die there or climb out. "
