“Every time a girl refuses to eat, she one-ups Eve.”
― Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood

“There's a fine line between piety and wack-ass obsession, and people have been landing on the wrong side for thousands of years.”
― Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood
― Devil in the Details: Scenes from an Obsessive Girlhood
“It's a thousand tiny impulses, building on one another. First you decide it's a good idea to check the oatmeal bin for bugs. Next you're going through all the canisters, and before you know it, you're wearing a hazmat suit and examining the frosted flakes for ground-up glass. Each action further enforces the obsessive-compulsive circuit. When the disease is full-blown, sufferers are firmly entrenched in the neural loops that make them repeat thoughts and actions over and over. In other words, your brain keeps getting back in line for the same carnival ride it didn't enjoy in the first place. You lose your sunglasses, you throw up on your shirt, and two minutes later you're back on the Whizzer. Wheeee.”
