“I knew Dad was concerned about my past associations. I was from the Trash Alley. It was my community. I hung out with thugs from the Frog Bottom, the Burns Bottoms, the Red Line, the S-Curve, the Sandfield, the Morning Side, and a bunch of other places that shall remain nameless. I knew all of the 鈥淟egends of the Hood鈥: Sin Man, Swap, Boo Boo, Emp-Man, Cookie Man, Shank, Polar Bear, Bae Willy, Bae Bruh, Skullhead Ned, Pimp, Crunch, and Goat Turd (just to name a few). I thought maybe Dad had summoned me as a 鈥渟how and tell鈥 for the kids in his neighborhood鈥攖he hardliner to scare those wayward suburban brats back into reality.”

“The teacher pulled out a pile of papers. They were Bennie鈥檚 tests and homework assignments. Mrs. Lewis said, 鈥淢a鈥檃m, here is the proof that Bennie isn鈥檛 up to a fourth grade level. He has an F on several of these assignments. In fact, a zero grade is too high for some of Bennie鈥檚 work this last year.”

“Out of nowhere, one of the twins grabbed my cap while the other delivered a blow to my head. She slapped the taste right out of my mouth. I couldn鈥檛 even feel my tongue. I spun around to face my bullies. The twins had become triplets. I couldn鈥檛 remember ever trying to drink three glasses of anything and this wouldn鈥檛 be the day to try.”

“Today I hit rock bottom but didn鈥檛 busy myself with activity to take my mind off it, like I usually do. I allowed myself to sink as deep as possible. It鈥檚 like an infection: let it run its course and be done with it. Rising, I felt cleansed.”

“I have an obligation to help eliminate the stigma attached to mental illness. When I鈥檓 feeling despondent and someone asks in a sincere way how I am, I have a duty to tell the truth. It鈥檚 no different from saying I have a bad cold. By speaking candidly, I give others permission to acknowledge their own mental illness, talk about it, and seek help. I must break the silence instead of treating my depression like a shameful character flaw.”

Doris Lessing
“I understood that I was understanding. I could have understood before, that when George is with Hasan and Hasan is talking, George is hearing things in what Hasan is saying that are quite beyond me. That I can鈥檛 hear at all. I could see from George鈥檚 face that in quite ordinary things that were said was much much more. I just couldn鈥檛 grasp it. It was going too fast for me. It was above my head. The conversation was apparently about not very much. I was thinking in an agonized sort of way, that they weren鈥檛 talking about anything important or special. Yet George鈥檚 face kept lighting up as he understood the things that were there.”
Doris Lessing, Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta
