“To hurt yourself with the thorn to consider yourself the truthful and wise instead of the beauty and fragrance of the rose is not only the illiteracy, but it is also the madness.”

“Neurotic people often feel as if they are fakes, playing the social game while inwardly despising it, and have a sense of illegitimacy as if they lacked a place in the world. This sense of having a double life creates conflict, yet in as-if cases, there is never a struggle between the "real me" and the social self, as one might expect. It is an identification without conflict. Sometimes, their stiffness and superficiality in social relations may be noticed by other people, and it can give the picture of the commitment-phobe. In fact, the person just knows at some level to stay away from situations that would involve an appeal to the symbolic, those, precisely, where a commitment is involved.”

“একটা মানুষ সুখী না দুঃখী চট করে বলে ফেলা যায়। ভালোমতো তাকে দেখবি। যদি দেখিস বেশি কথা বলছে তাহলেই বুঝবি সে সুখী মানুষ। আর যদি দেখিস কথাবার্তা কম বলছে তাহলেই বুঝবি - মনের মধ্যে অনেক দুঃখ। সবচে বেশি কথা বলে কারা? পাগলরা। সারাক্ষণই এরা কথা বলে। আশেপাশে মানুষ থাকলে কথা বলে। আশেপাশে কেউ না থাকলে নিজের মনেই বিড়বিড় করে। এই দুনিয়ায় সবচে সুখী মানুষ কারা? পাগলরা। একবার কষ্ট করে পাগল হয়ে যেতে পারলে খুবই মজা। আর কোনো দুঃখ নাই। শুধুই সুখ। এইসব ভেবেই পাগল হয়ে যেতে ইচ্ছে করে।”

“You must be a myth that your lover can't grasp and you must chase the moon like a wolf in the night, as if it will show you something only you can understand. Everything you do is a ritual that can mean something more and you must connect and create bonds with the spirits both outer and inner. Seek the strange and mysterious, otherworldly explanations for yourself and things around. There is always more. Always more. Nothing is ordinary, and you must make love to him like his touch is your salvation. You must dare to love and lose and hear your heart break into a million little pieces, glittering like diamonds in the night. Don’t run into hiding when the rain hits us like planets shot down to see who wants to survive the most for you want to survive the most and you must not hide from madness. You must love and live and write like you're obsessed and possessed. Go mad for what you believe in.”

“He wasn’t sure if it was because of the full moon, but he could tell this was no ordinary night. He could feel it in his gut and he was ready for anything. Of course, he would not be ready for what he was about to experience. How could anyone be ready for this madness?”

“Campaign to destigmatize so-called "mental illness" often take a wrong turning here. They try to demonstrate how suffers of some condition have made amazing contributions to the science or the arts. Trying to destigmatize the diagnosis of autism, for example, we read how Einstein and Newton would have received that diagnosis today, and yet made fabulous discoveries in the field of physics. Even if they are acknowledged to have been "different", their worth is still reckoned in terms of how their work has impacted on the world of others. However well-intentioned, such perspectives are hardly judicious, as they make an implicit equation between value and social utility. Taking this step is dangerous, as the moment that human life is defined in terms of utility, the door to stigmatization and segregation is opened. If someone was found to be not useful, what value, then, would their life have? This was in fact exactly the argument of the early-twentieth-century eugenicists who complained for the extermination of the mentally ill. Although no one would admit such aspirations today, we cannot ignore the resurfacing in recent years of a remarkably similar discourse, with its emphasis on social utility, hereditary and genetic vulnerability.”
