Kate  Moore
“Radium, they noted, had a “similar chemical nature” to calcium. Thus radium “if absorbed, might have a preference for bone as a final point of fixation.” Radium was what one might call a boneseeker, just like calcium; and the human body is programmed to deliver calcium straight to the bones to make them stronger… Essentially, radium had masked itself as calcium and, fooled, the girls’ bodies had deposited it inside their bones. Radium was a silent stalker, hiding behind that mask, using its disguise to burrow deep into the women’s jaws and teeth.”
Kate Moore, The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women

“Someone once asked, "If you could take it all back, would you?"

Susannah Cahalan, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness

“We’ve got humane societies for dogs and cats, but they won’t do anything for human beings,” he spat out. “These women have souls.”

“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness,” Aristotle said.”

“But this (bipolar disorder) chose her. Without her consent, like an arranged marriage, till death do they part. She wants an annulment, a divorce, an open window onto a fire escape, a new doctor, a time machine. Some way out of this.”
Lisa Genova, More or Less Maddy
