The Siege Quotes

“And I will not change the last word of the story. It is still love.”
― Clara Claiborne Park, The Siege: A Family's Journey Into the World of an Autistic Child

“I have come to see mental health and illness, soundness and defect, not as the separate entities the words seem to describe, but as a continuum. The needs of the defective and the sick are more imperious than those of the well, but they are not different in kind. Sick children need to be accepted, supported, comforted, corrected — like the well ones. Above all, like all children — like all people — they need to be respected.”
― Clara Claiborne Park, The Siege: A Family's Journey Into the World of an Autistic Child
