28. The Autism Asylum

‘Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must be silent’ ‘We are the souls of the dead who walk among the living’

‘Hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections’

‘Those of us within have no interest in honouring the time-honoured values of society because we have not been accepted as paid-up members’

‘What’s needed in this world is an accommodating sort of virtue’

‘What we learn we can never be taught, what we are taught we can never know’

‘Heard melodies are sweet but those unheard are sweeter’

‘A whole forest grows from a seed in the mind if it is not cultivated by others’

‘The silence in which we live enables us to endure our solitude’

‘We are children born at dusk, who pursue a life-long journey into night’

‘Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to those who have not fallen or stumbled’

‘Let he who understands autism throw the first stone’
