F. Scott Fitzgerald, in a letter to his editor written in July, 1922. He was referring to The Great Gatsby.
"When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence."
Ingmar Bergman

"I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between."
