J.D. Salinger
“He said he even wished everybody in the world looked exactly alike. He said you'd keep thinking everybody you met was your wife or your mother or father, and people would always be throwing their arms around each other wherever they went, and it would look 'very nice'.”
J.D. Salinger

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I'm not a drug salesman. I'm a writer."

"What makes you think a writer isn't a drug salesman?”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Neil Gaiman
“Life is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.”
Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman
“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline

Ron Powers
“To begin consciously searching into the world of mental illness is to see it snap into focus before your eyes. It is everywhere. It has been hiding in plain sight, awaiting notice. Its camouflage is little more than the human instinct to reject engagement with the pitiable, the fearsome, the unspeakable—and to close our eyes to the moral obligations that those states of being demand of us.”
Ron Powers, No One Cares About Crazy People: The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America
