Alex Michaelides

“How your sense of self-worth would implode; and the pain would be too great, too huge to feel, so you’d swallow it, repress it, bury it. Over time you would lose contact with the origins of your trauma, dissociate the roots of its cause, and forget. But one day, all the hurt and anger would burst forth, like fire from a dragon’s belly – and you’d pick up a gun.”

Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient
