Lauren Slater Quotes

I was born from nothing and to nothing I will return. And yet, when I say the word nothing, when I admit, at last, ‘I am nothing,’ I feel mysteriously like something again, ground zero, genesis, the pull of possibilities Picture Quote #1

Finally the dawn came, the sky fringed with pink, and the sun bright as a coin in a spill of rising red Picture Quote #1

The clear water the color of deeply steeped tea, surrounded by cattails and gracile grasses Picture Quote #1

I looked up skin in the encyclopedia and confirmed that, sure enough, it is the human body’s largest organ, a fact that suggests our surfaces are critical to who we are, not just the gateway to physical or spiritual depths but a profoundly important web of cells that, in protecting us, gives us form and function Picture Quote #1

Are psychiatric crises so overwhelming to the mind that they inhibit the presence of ethics? Is depression at root an amoral phenomenon, its focus on the self preventing any other from really counting? Perhaps. Sometimes. Sometimes, even when we are two we are really only one; we can feel nothing but our own bones, our own difficult breaths Picture Quote #1

Wounds, I think, are never confined to a single skin but reach out to rasp us all Picture Quote #1

Mistrust is the fuel for so much mental pain, so many mental disorders. I am not talking here about the suspicions we sometimes have of one another, the distant but lurking sense that perhaps our lover lies to us, our best friend whispers behind our back. I am talking about a belief that betrayal inundates the atoms of the universe, is so woven into the workings of the world that every step is treacherous, and that below the rich mud lies a mine Picture Quote #1

Much has been said about the meanings we make of illness, but what about the meanings we make out of cure? Cure is complex, disorienting, a revisioning of the self, either subtle or stark. Cure is the new, strange planet, pressing in. The doctor could not have known. And that made me, as it does every patient, only more alone Picture Quote #1
