quiet desperation
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Henry David Thoreau
It’s not often I use a secular quotation on this blog, but this one has been on my mind. As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, there is a strong feeling of separation from God during times of depression - thus the quiet desperation instead of the peace of Christ. God is love, but even more appealing to me these days, He also is a God of peace.
