Wear a mask that doesn't care

Maybe everyone out there is full of lies, maybe the whole world is stupid and ignorant, but I'd rather be in it, I'd rather TMD be in it than be here with you. ——Susanna's

madness is not a momentary aberration, or swallowing a dark secret, but you and me, the vividness of personality. - Susanna

They may not be perfect, but they are my friends. ——Susanna

Lisa is not crazy, she is too real, she sees the world through, and she is too fragile, so she wears a mask that doesn't care to resist the turmoil in the world, she needs someone to love her.

Which crazy person is not vulnerable? What crazy person doesn't need love?

Some people see through themselves and the world, accept themselves and embrace the world, like Susanna, this is true strength. More people just don't think about it, just accept the world directly. This is an escape, that is, those so-called normal people.

Girl, Interrupted quotes

  • Daisy: You're just jealous, Lisa... because I got better... because I was released... because I have a chance... at a life.

    Lisa: They didn't release you 'cause you're better, Daisy, they just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking Daddy's money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks. And eating his fucking chicken, fattening up like a prize fucking heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the fucking situation - and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows. Everybody knows. That he fucks you. What they don't know... is that you like it. Hmm? You like it.

    Susanna: [to Lisa] Shut the fuck up!

    Lisa: [to Susanna] Hey man, it's cool, it's okay. It's fine, it's fucking fine! A man is a dick is a man is a dick is a chicken... is a dad... a Valium, a speculum, whatever, whatever.

    [then turns to Daisy]

    Lisa: You like being Mrs. Randone. Probably all you've ever known.

    Daisy: Have fun in Florida.

    [she goes upstairs to her room]

  • Janet: I want my fucking clothes!

    Valerie: Then you'll have to eat something, won't you?

    Janet: [singing] Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' cotton / Oh Lordy, pick a bale o' hay / Gotta jump down spin around pick a bale o' cotton / Jump down spin around, pick a bale o' hay...

    Valerie: [to Susanna] She thinks that bothers me.
