On the death of the soul
"The worst I thought could happen to me was to die; they taught me differently.
Many things are worse than death. One is to fall into the institution's hands. Another is to come out of a mental hospital submissive, unable to fight back. A third is fighting back in silence. The fourth is breaking the silence and finding the women around you doubtful, accusing, 'What was wrong with you in the first place if you fell into their hands?' "
