“Would you kiss me?”

“I love you.”

“I can live with you hating me," he said to the closed door.”

“I am asking you to marry me because I love you,” he said, “because I cannot imagine living my life without you. I want to see your face in the morning, and then at night, and a hundred times in between.

“After writing the letter Sybil lost almost two days. "Coming to," she stumbled across what she had written just before she had dissociated and wrote to Dr. Wilbur as follows: It's just so hard to have to feel, believe, and admit that I do not have conscious control over my selves. It is so much more threatening to have something out of hand than to believe that at any moment I can stop (I started to say "This foolishness") any time I need to. When I wrote the previous letter, I had made up my mind I would show you how I could be very composed and cool and not need to ask you to listen to me nor to explain anything to me nor need any help.

Pretending that the personalities did not exist has now caused me to lose about two days.”

It might be so that God will stand for the weak and question the strong.”

“Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.”
