The language of psychiatry, which is a monologue by reason about madness, could only have come into existence in such a silence.

Schools serve the same social functions as prisons and mental institutions- to define, classify, control, and regulate people.

I don't feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning.

Surround yourself with people who are doers!

Fire that's closest kept burns most of all.
