“the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia Complete 7-Book Collection: All 7 Books Plus Bonus Book: Boxen

“Suicide is a form of murder—premeditated murder. It isn’t something you do the first time you think of doing it. It takes getting used to. And you need the means, the opportunity, the motive. A successful suicide demands good organization and a cool head, both of which are usually incompatible with the suicidal state of mind.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“imagined my character as a plate or shirt that had been manufactured incorrectly and was therefore useless.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted

“Scar tissue has no character. It’s not like skin. It doesn’t show age or illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It’s like a slipcover. It shields and disguises what’s beneath. That’s why we grow it; we have something to hide.”
― Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
