“I have not lost my fascination with death. I have not become a noticeably less intense person. I have not, nor will I ever, completely lose the longing for that something, that thing that I believe will fill an emptiness inside me. I do believe that the emptiness was made greater by the things that I did to myself.”
― Marya Hornbacher, Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

“A good friend is a connection to life - a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.”
― Lois Wyse

“What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
― Aristotle

“This is the very boring part of eating disorders, the aftermath. When you eat and hate that you eat. And yet of course you must eat. You don’t really entertain the notion of going back. You, with some startling new level of clarity, realize that going back would be far worse than simply being as you are. This is obvious to anyone without an eating disorder. This is not always obvious to you.”
