“- Please. Don't switch off my mind by attempting to straighten me. Listen and understand, and when you feel contempt don't express it, at least not verbally, at least not to me. (Silence.) - I don't feel contempt. - No? - No. It's not your fault. - It's not your fault. That's all I ever hear, it's not your fault, it's an illness, it's not your fault, I know it's not my fault. You've told me that so often I'm beginning to think it is my fault. - It's not your fault. - I KNOW. - But you allow it.” — Sarah Kane
