Quotes by Marguerite Sechehaye

During the earliest attacks of Fear and intense unreality, I sometimes uttered these unconscious and shocking words: I should prefer to escape into madness to avoid this consuming fear. Alas, I did not know what I was saying. In my ignorance I believed that madness was a state of insensibility where there was neither pain nor suffering nor joy, but particularly, no responsibility. Never, for one instant, has I even imagined what to lose ones reason actually meant.
