From Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia

"...Jane, just out of the hospital, pale and shy-eyed, let her hair fall over her face as though to keep from being seen as she commited this great sin of consumption, this confession of weakness, this admission of having a body, with all its impertinent demands..."

"...people often dismiss eating disorders as mifestations of vanity, immaturity, madness. It is, in some ways, all of these things, but it is also an addiction. It is a response, albeit a rather twisted one, to a culture, a family, a self."

"I will eat what i want and look as I please and laugh as loud as I like and use the wrong fork and lick my knife."

talking about anorexia,

"It is a bundle of deadly contradictions: a desire for power that strips you of all your power.A gesture of strength that devists you of all strength. A wish to prove that you need nothing, that you have no human hungers, which turns on itself and becomes a searing need for hunger."
