Some of the quotes I'm thinking about for my Senior quote.

"Hemingway has this classic moment in 'The Sun Also Rises', when someone asks Mike Campbell how he went bankrupt, and all he can say is, 'Gradually, then suddenly.' My life is like that, too--One morning you wake up, afraid you're going to live." -Elizabeth Wurtzel "Prozac Nation"-

"People surrender to love--they do it reluctantly and with trepidation, but when they give in it is sweet surrender as well as sweet victory." -Elizabeth Wurtzel "Bitch"-

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt-

"The problem is, everybody has their reasons." -Jean Renoir-

"It was about that time I realized that searching was my symbol, the emblem of those who go out at night with nothing in mind, the motives of a destroyer of compasses." -Julio Cortazar "Hopscotch"-

"-As always, politics makes strange bedfellows." Elizabeth Wurtzel "Bitch"

"Love is a grave mental illness." Plato

"And while I really want to be tolerant enough to say that whatever a woman wants to do is just fine, this abnegates feminist accomplishment: women really do need to be able to take care of themselves in order to be themselves." Elizabeth Wurtzel "Bitch"

"We'll be these beautiful literary freaks: brilliant and dark...and sexy." Elizabeth Wurtzel "Prozac Nation"

"Women seem to be the repository of aeons of ages of bad blood, beginning with Eve, ending our stay in Eden with her curiosity and lust for strange fruit, and it has started to seem that even if we act like good girls, the world is still quite likely to find us bad." Elizabeth Wurtzel "Bitch"
