Jonathan Harnisch: An Alibiography Quotes

“You’ve got to reach bedrock to become depressed enough before you are forced to accept the reality and enormity of the problem.”

“I suppose I became a ghost long before I died. Or maybe I was never born at all. Georgie Gust—my puppet, my echo, my alibi—he lives the life I never could. And Ben?

Other days, I am silence. But always, always, the music aches.”

“I have schizophrenia. I am not schizophrenia. I am not my mental illness. My illness is a part of me.”
