Susan Sontag
“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.”
Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

Susan Sontag
“Theories that diseases are caused by mental states and can be cured by will power are always an index of how much is not understood about a disease.”
Susan Sontag, Illness as Metaphor

“And so, feeling the line between "researcher" and "conspiracy theorist" blurring before me, I hunkered down in the library to read about the many ways our government has deceived us.”

“I’d come to feel like a prisoner of my own story.”
Tom O'Neill, Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties

Shirley Jackson
“A pretty sight, a lady with a book.”
Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle
