Quotes by Anne Deveson (?)

“People with schizophrenia will often use metaphor and symbols to describe their inner states, but because they have lost their sense of boundary, they are unable to distinguish their inner from their outer worlds, and metahpor becomes reality.”

“Yet he would always know what was happening, no matter how crazy he appeared. He would register fear and humiliation – his or others' – and love and anger. He remembered it all.”

We know that schizophrenia is an illness; it is nobody's fault; it could happen to any one of us, or to those we love.”
