Purge Quotes

“I decide that if I am going to be treated like a mental patient, I might as well act like one, so I pitch a fit. I run down the hall screaming that all I want to do is vacuum my room, that Evan is a smug asshole, and that I most definitely do not have OCD; everyone knows odd numbers are disconcerting and everyone organizes the contents of their closet by color.”
― Nicole J. Johns, Purge: Rehab Diaries

“I am placing blame. I faced too much pressure to succeed and take advantage of the opportunities unavailable to previous generations of my family. I experienced the guilt and sexism of the Catholic Church. I was no good at math, no matter how hard I tried. Sometimes trying just wasn’t good enough. I stopped dancing, swimming, and playing instruments. I refused to go to Mass. I did not fit the image of my family. I was the wild child, the intense, sensitive daughter whom my parents tried to rein in. I was explosive, depressed, and skeptical. I was not the daughter they thought I was.”
