The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n. What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least We shall be free: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice To reign is worth ambition, though in hell; Better to reign in hell than serve in heav’n.

— Paradise Lost, by John Milton

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. • The heart of her husband safely trusts her. • She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. • Her children rise up and call her blessed. • Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. • Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.

كارافاجيو مات بعدما تأذى من عركة وية كم واحد (جانت مشاكله هواي)، بوقتها صارت بيه حمى ومات بعمر الـ 38.

The WHO concluded that living in a "developed" country like the US is a strong predictor you’ll have a bad outcome if you’re diagnosed with schizophrenia. Why is it that living in a developed country, with all of its advances in medicine, would be a predictor of a bad outcome?

"Investigators from Harvard Med School reported in 1994 that long-term outcomes for schizophrenia patients had declined over the past 20 years, and were now no better than they had been in 1900."
