I Seem To Be Thinking

I Later Spent... Five To Eight Months In Hospitals In New Jersey, Always On An Involuntary Basis, And Always Attempting A Legal Argument For Release.

I Seem To Be Thinking Rationally Again In The Style That Is Characteristic Of Scientists. However This Is Not Entirely A Matter Of Joy As If Someone Returned From Physical Disability To Good Physical Health.

Though I Had Success In My Research Both When I Was Mad And When I Was Not, Eventually I Felt That My Work Would Be Better Respected If I Thought And Acted Like A 'normal' Person.

It's Better To Be Dead, Or Even Perfectly Well, Than To Suffer From The Wrong Affliction. The Man Who Owns Up To Arthritis In A Beri-beri Year Is As Lonely As A Woman In A Last Month's Dress.

Statistically, It Would Seem Improbable That Any Mathematician Or Scientist, At The Age Of 66, Would Be Able Through Continued Research Efforts, To Add Much To His Or Her Previous Achievements. However I Am Still Making The Effort And It Is Conceivable That With The Gap Period Of About 25 Years Of Partially Deluded Thinking Providing A Sort Of Vacation My Situation May Be Atypical. Thus I Have Hopes Of Being Able To Achieve Something Of Value Through My Current Studies Or With Any New Ideas That Come In The Future.
