“There is nothing that you can do to me that my own craziness doesn't do to me smarter and faster and better.”
Joanne Greenberg, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

“I once had a patient who used to practice the most horrible tortures on himself, and when I asked him why he did such things, he said, 'Why, before the world does them.' I asked him then, 'Why not wait and see what the world will do?' and he said, 'Don't you see? It always come at last, but this way at least I am master of my own destruction.”
Joanne Greenberg, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

“She now knew that the death she feared might not be a physical one, that it could be death of the will, the soul, the mind, the laws, and thus not death, but a perpetual dying.”
Joanne Greenberg, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden
