"The only joy I had was writing what was. That book was. It no longer amuses me to be all the things I was when I wrote that. But it is my story as I was then."
Joy
"Let me but make a beginning, let me but strike the world in a vulnerable spot, and I can take it by storm."
Beginning
"I was born to be alone, and I always shall be; but now I want to be."
Now
"Well, if I am not vulgar, neither is my book. I wrote myself. Suggestiveness is always vulgar. But truth never. My book is not even remotely suggestive. I call things by their names. That is all."
Truth
"I read of the Kalamazoo girl who killed herself after reading the book. I am not at all surprised. She lived in Kalamazoo, for one thing, and then she read the book."
Reading
"One must always say things that aim to interest, because in the world one must after all pay for one's keep."
Interest
"The book, you understand, was not written for publication. It was the portrayal of my emotions, the analysis of my own soul life during three months of my nineteenth year. I wrote then all the time, just as I do now, but, though the book is in diary form, it is not a diary."
Life
"I love devils."
Love
"I do not see any beauty in self-restraint."
Beauty
"Just why I sent it to the publishers would be hard to say, but when I had finished it I felt that it was literature, because it is real and because it was well written. And I know that the world wants such things."
