This unlucky patient who regresses as to infancy, begs for affection like a child, gives himself over entirely to those who are constantly close to him. It is essential for this patient to stay at home, surrounded by familiar objects and regular habits, living in a safe environment and in a serene atmosphere, in order to be nursed and properly stimulated, the must be helped to exist, beyond the decay of his physical vessel. I must be helped to live his life,the best possible one. Furthermore, if he feels loved, he makes the task easier for those who are committed to taking care of him.

…There are moments even long periods of panic, of extreme physical tiredness; however there is a "sublime pietas"; a super human, constant capacity to show affection, a skill that appears to be limitless and makes you overcome the most difficult situations with extraordinary serenity…

…They invisibly hold on to their sight, hearing, feeling, but mostly to their soul. Try observing them from a place deep down in yourself and you will understand…
