"Last update before review: p.170 Something round and dirty and white was resting near my foot. It was a skull, I picked it up. “Is that you, Nicholas?” I asked. “Put that down, Peter,” said Nightingale. “You don’t know where it’s been.”" — Jul 12, 2012 06:51AM

"Many doctors believe, like Ana’s Dr. Cosford, that autism, chronic fatigue, and a variety of other chronic illnesses all involve a deterioration of the biological systems that help us cope with the environment.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
