Josephine’s Quotes

“When am I going to see you?"

"Very much."

"Never," I said, and hung up with a resolute click.”

“The reason I hadn't washed my clothes or my hair was because it seemed so silly. (...)
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash it again the next.
It made me tired just to think of it.
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.”
― Sylvia Plath , The Bell Jar

“My mother smiled. "I know my baby wasn't like that."
I looked at her. "Like what?"
"Like those awful people. Those awful dead people at that hospital." She paused. "I knew you'd decide to be all right again.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“I've been wondering. . . I mean, I thought you might be able to tell me something." Buddy met my eyes and I saw, for the first time, how he had changed. Instead of the old, sure smile that flashed on easily and frequently as a photographer's bulb, his face was grave, even tentative -- the face of a man who often does not get what he wants.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
