I’m just a flawed human being like everybody else.

The schizophrenic mind is not so much split as shattered.

A heart touched by mental illness beats just the same as any other.

In madness, I thought I was the most important person in the world.

In the madness, you lose yourself and you lose value. That’s what psychosis is - losing touch with reality.

The center cannot hold when the disease of schizophrenia takes hold of a person.

Mental illness is not a death sentence. It’s actually an opportunity for a meaningful life.

I have schizophrenia. It’s not like ‘I am schizophrenia’, but rather, ‘I have schizophrenia.’ There is a difference.
