Susanna Kaysen
“As far as I could see, life demanded skills I didn't have.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Susanna Kaysen
“One of the great pleasures of mental health (whatever that is) is how much less time I have to spend thinking about myself.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Susanna Kaysen
“All my integrity seemed to lie in saying No.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Susanna Kaysen
“Some people say that having any conscious opinion on the matter is a mark of sanity, but I'm not sure that's true. I still think about it. I'll always have to think about it.
I often ask myself if I'm crazy. I ask other people too. 'Is this a crazy thing to say?' I'll ask before saying something that probably isn't crazy.
I start a lot of sentences with 'Maybe I'm totally nuts,' or 'Maybe I've gone 'round the bend.'
If I do something out of the ordinary, like take two baths in a day for example- I say to myself: Are you crazy"
It's a common phrase, I know. But it means something particular to me: the tunnels, the security screens, the plastic forks, the shimmering, ever-shifting borderline that like all boundaries beckons and asks to be crossed. I do not want to cross it again”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

Susanna Kaysen
“Maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back... Maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our mind.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
