Quotes

Madness is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Sometimes it feels like we're all living in a Prozac nation...."

Rock bottom is an inability to cope with the commonplace that is so extreme it makes even the grandest and loveliest things unbearable...Rock bottom is everything out of focus. It's a failure of vision, a failure to see the world as it is, to see the good in what it is, and only to wonder why the hell things look the way they do and not some other way. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Depression is about as close as you get to somewhere between..."

As someone very sagely said during the parricide trials of the Menendez Brothers: anytime your kids kill you, you are at least partly to blame. Elizabeth Wurtzel
The desire to be seen as superior and singular- and, conversely, but similarly, inferior and individual, is a big topic...They have a term for the syndrome- it is called terminal uniqueness...we all refuse to be part of the crowd, to walk in the middle of the road in the safety of others. We all think were special. But the problem is, as I point out to Dr. Singer all the time, I actually am special. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Banned! My eyes light up, I think I see stars. Anything that..."
Banned! My eyes light up, I think I see stars. Anything that has been banned by anyone must be something I’d like. Elizabeth Wurtzel
The moment in The Bell Jar when Esther Greenwood realizes after thirty days in the same black turtleneck that she never wants to wash her hair again, that the repeated necessity of the act is too much trouble, that she wants to do it once and be done with it, seems like the book's true epiphany. You know you've completely descended into madness when the matter of shampoo has ascended into philosophical heights. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Woke up this morning afraid I was gonna live."
Woke up this morning afraid I was gonna live. Elizabeth Wurtzel
A deeply true, wholly aching account of the dangerous way we live now--LOVE JUNKIE is great fun to read, and finally fully redemptive. Rachel Resnick brings a light, delightful touch to a hard subject, and creates a great, relatable, readable memoir. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much..."
Feminism is a good venue for getting yourself across as much as for getting your point across. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "That's what it's like in my head all the time, constant snow,..."
That's what it's like in my head all the time, constant snow, constant weather patterns of all sorts - blizzards, cyclones. Elizabeth Wurtzel
