“one moment made to stand still and to stand for all the other moments”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“In our parallel world, things happened that had not yet happened in the world we’d come from. When they finally happened outside, we found them familiar because versions of them had been performed in front of us. It was as if we were a provincial audience, New Haven to the real world’s New York, where history could try out its next spectacle.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“The predominant quality of the slow form is viscosity. Experience is thick. Perceptions are thickened and dulled Time is slow, dripping slowly through the clogged filter of thickened perception. The body temperature is low. The pulse is sluggish. The immune system is half-asleep. The organism is torpid and brackish. Even the reflexes are diminished, as if the lower leg couldn’t be bothered to jerk itself out of its stupor when the knee is tapped.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“Pride's a joke that will make the stranger inside you laugh sooner or later.”
― Stephen King, Los ojos del dragón
