"Girl, interrupted" by Susanna Kaysen
Quotes:
“I told her once I wasn’t good at anything. She told me survival is a talent.”
“The only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.”
“Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is… 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. They were not perfect, but they were my friends.”
