"Patients used to have a saying, two things you will never hear at this place - meat a frying or a kind word. They ought to see it now--remembering as I remember they would agree that the MIRACLE OF what has come under the present leadership equals or surpasses the ASYLUM."
"As the future advances there is always a clearer word to be written about the past...I feel that I have had the unique opportunity to look across the changing years seeking a comprehensive evaluation of their meaning, however what has been written falls short of setting a true picture of the whole in clear view."
"Mental patients are often quick to complain about conditions of life anywhere and they get the truth out of focus often too, as do some, not said to be mental."
Fred Chaney, 1953
