Dottoré, when I look back at my life, I see only mistakes.

My job, my marriage, the children — even getting a dog … I did it all because basically, I’m an idiot.

But at the same time I say to myself, if I hadn’t been so much of an idiot, I would look back, and I wouldn’t see anything at all.”

And that reasoning, coming from a patient suffering from depression, actually sounded like a proud accomplishment!
