    Paulo Coelho
    “You don't seem mad at all,' she said.

    But I am, although I'm undergoing a cure, because my problem is that I lack a particular chemical. However, while I hope that the chemical gets rid of my chronic depression, I want to continue being mad, living life the way I dream it, and not the way other people want it to be. Do you know what exists out there, beyond the walls of Villete?”
    ― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die
