I thought of the supposedly crazy people inside who had revealed to me that they had decided to be locked away from the world because it was too difficult for them to deal with it. And I thought of Siddhartha, who had managed, by plunging into the very core of life, to find his way. I took a deep breath that morning, a breath that sought all the scents the world could contain and I made a promise: that I would choose life. Paulo Coelho
