Sylvia Nasar Quote

James Glass, a political scientist at the University of Maryland who has studied the delusions of schizophrenia, writes, Delusion provides a certain, often unbreakable identity, and its absolute character can maneuver the self into an unyielding position. In this respect, it is the internal mirror of political authoritarianism, the tyrant inside the self … an internal domination as deadly as any external tyranny.
