Laura Kipnis
“So exiled have even basic questions of freedom become from the political vocabulary that they sound musty and ridiculous, and vulnerable to the ultimate badge of shame-'That's so 60's!'-the entire decade having been mocked so effectively that social protest seems outlandish and 'so last century,' just another style excess like love beads and Nehru jackets. No, rebellion won't pose a problem for this social order.”
Laura Kipnis, Against Love: A Polemic

Susanna Kaysen
“I once told her I wasn't good at anything. She said survival is a talent.”
Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted
