I don’t know if it is my best quote but “If I have made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention than to any other talent.”—Isaac Newton
“The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do.”
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel --Maya Angelou
‘’ Stop! stop! stop telling me!, I don’t want to hear your life story!!’ - me while drunk, telling a drunk schizophrenic back before I got schizophrenia. looking back… discussions about self were rarely in conversations topics. Now that’s all there is to talk about… guess that’s why he felt the need to tell me about when he first go schizophrenia and after - another symptom of schizophrenia
To date, he still believes schizophrenia is not madness… Last time I talked to him, he was telling me of how everyone hates him, the shopkeepers the taxis - he was mentioning a schizo symptom of seeing people talk to him negatively… but I think he was just saying that coz he knew I was hearing voices too… becoz before, he always fashioned himself as a spiritual prophet of some sorts.
