A Powerful Quote from the Book

 Surviving Schizophrenia

"I told her the long story about the hospital; how in the beginning it was difficult to get distance from people suffering illnesses that stole their minds for a while or a lifetime, how poignant and painful it was to see them struggle inside schizophrenia...You wonder how it is that they can still work so hard at keeping their spirit, hold on to hopes, try to savage dignity from ruins of lives. Try to even hold on to love...And then there's a day you look around the ward and suddenly understand that it's in here that you've found your heroes."
