“I am relatively certain that religious faith alone doesn't prevent hallucinations because many patients try to save themselves by their faith. Observation would suggest useful social acts (charity) would come closer to preventing schizophrenia.”
― Wilson Van Dusen, The Presence of Spirits in Madness

“I challenge you to a duel!” screamed the cat, sailing over their heads on the swinging chandelier.”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

“I lived in pain because I chose to live in pain. Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with the idea of tragedy, the idea that I was destined to live a tragic life. I had this romantic idea about the life of a writer and what he was supposed to suffer. [...:] Somehow I made my own pain a kind of god.”
― Benjamin Alire Saenz, Last Night I Sang to the Monster
