If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; If you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic. (Thomas Szasz)

If you talk to God, you are praying; If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; If you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic.

John Climacus

Do not be quick to talk about three things: about God until you establish faith in Him, about another's sin until you remember your own and about tomorrow until you see the dawn.

Nikolaj Velimirovic

It is better to fall in with crows than with flatterers; for in the one case you are devoured when dead, in the other case while alive.

Antisthenes

[In response to having being referred to as schizophrenic] Well, that is clearly not my mental illness; I am Bipolar-II - which is the new gladiator sandal! Schizophrenia is, of course, hearing voices- not doing voices.
