Fyodor Dostoevsky
“I tell you solemnly, that I have many times tried to become an insect. But I was not equal even to that. I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness- a real thorough-going illness.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

Norman Cousins
“Each patient carries his own doctor inside him.”
Norman Cousins, Anatomy of an Illness: As Perceived by the Patient - Reflections on Healing and Regeneration
