“The novelist Kingsley Amis, suffered from depersonalisation/derealization, and would never allow himself to be left on his own for that reason. It sounds terrifying. His wife used to bring his small children to him when he had an attack at night to remind him he was still connected to the rest of the world.”
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
