An observer can’t tell if a person is silent and still because inner life has stalled or because inner life is transfixingly busy. (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)

Freedom was the price of privacy (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)

A thought is a hard thing to control (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
The world didn’t stop because we weren’t in it anymore (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Something about the goat dancing made me want to cry (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
The only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
When you’re sad you need to hear your sorrow structured into sound (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
What is it about meter and cadence and rhythm that makes their makers mad? (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Was insanity just a matter of dropping the act? (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
I am not a nurse escorting six lunatics to the ice cream parlor (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
With wild eyes that had seen freedom (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
I needed to be alone, I felt. I wanted to be going on alone to my future (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Maybe I was just flirting with madness the way I flirted with my teachers and my classmates (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
When women are angry at men, they call them heartless. When men are angry at women, they call them crazy (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)

It’s a fairly accurate portrait of me at eighteen, minus a few quirks like reckless driving and eating binges. It’s accurate but it isn’t profound (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Not everything has a happy ending, and not everything has an ending. Some things just kind of dribble away or cut off abruptly (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
Lunatics are similar to designated hitters. Often an entire family is crazy, but since an entire family can’t go into the hospital, one person is designated as crazy and goes inside. Then, depending on how the rest of the family is feeling that person is kept inside or snatched out, to prove something about the family’s mental health (Susanna Kaysen Quotes)
