“For every miracle like me, there are a hundred like my mirror image; a thousand rotting away in jails or abandoned on the streets for the sin of being mentally ill; a million told that it's all in their heads. As if our brains aren't inside those heads, as if that warrants dismissal, not further investigation. As if there could be any other response but humility in the face of the devastating enigma that is the brain.”
