Susan Cain
“May I be free from danger. May I be free from mental suffering. May I be free from physical suffering. May I have ease of well-being. The idea is to wish these states first to yourself, then to an ever-widening circle of people: loved ones, acquaintances, the difficult people in your life, and then finally to all beings.”
Susan Cain, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole

Esmé Weijun Wang
“The line between insanity and mysticism is thin; the line between reality and unreality is thin. Liminality as a spiritual concept is all about the porousness of boundaries.”
Esmé Weijun Wang, The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays

Albert Einstein
“Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.”
Albert Einstein

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“In fact, we have lost touch so badly that we often feel a kind of loathing for genuine 'living live,' and hence cannot endure being reminded of it. We've reached a point where we virtually regard 'living life' as hard labor, almost servitude and we all agree in private that it's much better 'according to books.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground

Robert Kolker
“One of the consequences of surviving schizophrenia for fifty years is that sooner or later, the cure becomes as damaging as the disease.”
Robert Kolker, Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family
