Marie-Louise von Franz
“The healing hero, therefore, is the one who finds some creative way out, a way not already known, and does not follow a pattern. Ordinary sick people follow ordinary patterns, but the shaman cannot be cured by the usual methods of healing. He has to find the unique way, the only way that applies to him. The creative personality who can do that then becomes a healer and is recognized as such by his colleagues.”
Marie-Louise von Franz, The Problem of the Puer Aeternus

Gabor Maté
“Learn to read symptoms not only as problems to be overcome but as messages to be heeded.”
Gabor Maté, When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress

Werner Herzog
“Friendship is possible with mice.”
Werner Herzog, Of Walking in Ice: Munich-Paris, 11/23 to 12/14, 1974

Esmé Weijun Wang
“...a primary feature of the experience of staying in a psychiatric hospital is that you will not be believed about anything. A corollary to this feature: things will be believed about you that are not at all true.”
Esmé Weijun Wang, The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays

Carmen Maria Machado
“A reminder to remember: just because the sharpness of the sadness has faded does not mean that it was not, once, terrible. It means only that time and space, creatures of infinite girth and tenderness, have stepped between the two of you, and they are keeping you safe as they were once unable to.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House
