"'and then I go into the playground and stop and stand there and look at the snow angels and they are so beautiful, so beautiful that if I tried to paint them it would turn out to be a bad painting, compared to the sight of the snow angels, I think, because that's how it is, that's how it almost always is, what's beautiful in life turns out bad in a painting because it's like there's too much beauty' p.128" — Dec 19, 2025 12:31AM

"'Saving an abandoned forest? As I suggested earlier, in American sensibilities an "abandoned forest" is already an oxymoron. Forests flourish without human interference. The greening of New England after its farmers moved West is a point of regional pride. Abandoned fields turn into forests, abandonment frees forests to reclaim their space.' p.259" — Sep 21, 2025 12:35AM

“Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?”

― The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
“היא הביטה בהם ארוכות ויכלה לדמות את השיניים הטוחנות בוקעות מעצם הלסת של הגולגולת, רחבות וסדורות כמו שאפשר לראות בצילום רנטגן. כאילו הנוקשות של עצם הלסת חתמה את ילדותם והבליטה את החשד ואת הכעס, כלומר את הבוז לעולם. אחר כך תיקנה את עצמה: לאו דווקא נוקשים ואטומים. אולי רק מסוגרים ובוטים מדי, פגועים מדי ולא אהובים מדי. ואחר כך הוסיפה: אבל ככה רוצים אותם, לוחמים או שוטרים, עורכי דין קרי מזג, או אנשי עסקים, או חרקים תקשורתיים שנופחים את נשמתם לעיני כול ברשתות החברתיות. לבסוף הפכה בדעתה: בכל זאת, אצל אחדים מהם ניבטת כמיהה בעיניים.”
