Evyjo ’s Notes & Highlights

Ten Days in a Mad-House by Nellie Bly

2 highlights

I got very much frightened at this, for if there is any one who can ferret out a mystery it is a reporter.

“Do you think,” the professor was saying, “that you could spend two hours reading the same passage, the same sentence, even the same word? Do you think you might find it tedious, or boring?”

“Yoli, she said, I’m just saying that apologies aren’t the bedrock of civilized society. All right! I said. I agree. But what is the bedrock of civilized society? Libraries, said Elf.”
― Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows

“Compare this with a criminal, who is given every chance to prove his innocence. Who would not rather be a murderer and take the chance for life than be declared insane, without hope of escape?”
― Nellie Bly, Ten Days in a Mad-House

“I am a genius of infinite potential and highly limited patience. People shouldn’t try me so.”
