quotes by Lauren Slater

"I was born from nothing and to nothing I will return. And yet, when i say the word nothing, when i admit, at last, 'I am nothing,' i feel mysteriously like something again, ground zero, genesis, the pull of possibilities."
— Lauren Slater

"those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it"
— Lauren Slater (Opening Skinner's Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century)

"Everyone knows that a lot of memoirs have made-up scenes; it's obvious. And everyone knows that half the time at least fictions contain literal autobiographical truths. So how do we decide what's what, and does it even matter?"
— Lauren Slater (Lying: A Metaphorical Memoir)
