I believed in immaculate conception and spontaneous combustion. I believed in aliens from outer space and vampires, prophecy, and the resurrection of the dead. I had deja vu many times each day. I was thirteen.

About This Quote

Deja vu is a psychological term that refers to the sensation of having had a previous life or lives. I experienced deja vu many times each day. Being thirteen, I experienced deja vu as a normal part of my life. I had deja vu many times each day. It was only later that I realized that the deja vu was actually a symptom of schizophrenia and that it would cause me to hallucinate and hear voices for the rest of my life.
