Jack Eades

“I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“I think friendships are the result of certain needs that can be completely hidden from both people, sometimes hidden forever.”
― Claire Morgan, The Price of Salt, or Carol

“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? —it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
