If one is to be doomed, one must be beautiful, or the drama is only a comedy.

“Measure the hate you feel now, and the shame. That quantity is your capacity also to love and to feel joy and to have compassion.”

The people on the edge of Hell were most afraid of the devil; for those already in hell the devil was only another and no one in particular.

If sanity was measured in feet and hours, learning was weighed in pounds of books carried to school and back again.

God, they tried so hard to make the madhouse look like home. It was all lies; their laughter hung very false among the ornaments (no sharp edges and no glass), and Deborah thought that at least they had the decency to be embarrassed.

and in a slow, oncoming way, widening from a beginning, it appeared to deborah that she would not die. it came upon her with a steady, mounting clarity that she was going to be more than undead, that she was going to be alive. it had a sense of wonder and awe, great joy and trepidation. “when will it begin?” she said to the gradual night. it came to her that it was already beginning. — i never promised you a rose garden, joanne greenberg

[fiction-quotes]

Deborah was sitting on the floor of the ward, idly waiting for a meeting with Anterrabae, when she saw Carla coming toward her down the hall. “Hey, Deb...”

“Carla? I didn't know you were up here.”

Carla looked very tired. “Deb – I had enough of hate all boxed in. I decided to come up here where I can yell and yell until I get hoarse.” They looked at each other and smiled, knowing that “D” was not the “worst” ward at all, only the most honest. The other wards had “status” to keep up and a semblance of form to maintain.

The people on the edge of Hell were most afraid of the devil; for those already in hell the devil was only another and no one in particular. So Wards A and B whispered their little symptoms and took their sedatives and were terrified of loud noises or overt agony or towering despair. Women's Disturbed rocked like a boat sometimes, but its inmates felt free of the subtle, treacherous currents of secret madness.
