- ❝to the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.❞
- the bell jar, sylvia plath
- ❝i saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next day had suddenly snapped up, and i could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.❞

- ❝one heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. they are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. there is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. that is what lies at the root of true harmony.❞

- ❝if you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.❞

- ❝scar tissue has no character. it's not like skin. it doesn't show age or illness or pallor or tan. it has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. it's like a slip cover. it shields and disguises what's beneath. that's why we grow it; we have something to hide.❞
- girl, interrupted, susanna kaysen
