Mental Illness In Film

"After she tried to kill herself the first time, Dolores told me she... she had an insect living inside her brain. She could feel it clicking across her skull, just... pulling the wires, just for fun. She told me that. She told me that but I didn't listen. I loved her so much."

"Sanity's not a choice, Marshall. You can't just choose to get over it."

"It's my job to treat the patients, not their victims."

"This is a game. All of this is for you. You're not investigating anything. You're a fucking rat in a maze."

"Warden: You're as violent as they come. I know this, because I'm as violent as they come. If the constraints of society were lifted, and I was all that stood between you and a meal, you would crack my skull with a rock and eat my meaty parts. Wouldn't you?"

"Some places never let you go."

"Someone is missing."
