the deeper we dig beneath the mental illness, [the more] we get into those layers where restoration is constantly at work. Life never goes under. It is never lost. In the dreams, one finds quite normal processes taking place. Among the voices are normal voices. the normal truth is spoken. (81)

One can dismiss a thing by saying, now this is this and that. there are people who use psychology only to get a label to attach to things. then they are done. then it just belongs to psychology. One must never forget, psychology is only a stammering stopgap measure, so that one is able to talk about life at all. (84)
