I waited for dawn, but only because I had forgotten how hard mornings were. For a second I'd be normal. Then came the dim awareness of something off, out of place. Then the truth came crashing down and that was it for the rest of the day. Sunlight was reproof. Shouldn't I feel better than I had in the dead of night. Francine Prose
About This Quote

The quote, “I waited for dawn, but only because I had forgotten how hard mornings were,” by Stephen Fry, is a poignant reminder that it is not easy to rise each morning when you are suffering from depression. When you are asleep in your bed, you do not even know that the world has changed in the last few hours. Therefore, in order to make it through another day, it can be extremely helpful to have a clear vision of what you would like to accomplish during the day.
