Susanna Kaysen Quotes About Skins

• Es importante cultivar el desapego. Una forma de hacerlo es practicar imaginándote muerto, o en proceso de morir. Si hay una ventana, debes imaginar que tu cuerpo cae por la ventana. Si hay un cuchillo, imagina que te atraviesa la piel. Si viene un tren, imagina que tu torso se aplasta bajo sus ruedas. Estos ejercicios son necesarios para lograr la distancia adecuada.

• The floor of ice cream parlor bothered me. It was black-and-white checkboard tile, bigger than supermarket checkboard. If I looked only at a white square, I would be all right, but it was hard to ignore the black squares that surrounded the white ones. The contrast got under my skin. The floor meant yes, no, this, that, up, down, day, night -all the indecisions and opposites that were bad enough in life without having them spelled out for you on the floor.

• Light like this does not exist, but we wish it did. We wish the sun could make us young and beautiful, we wish our clothes could glisten and ripple against our skins, most of all, we wish that everyone we knew could be brightened simply by our looking at them, as are the maid with the letter and the soldier with the hat.
