― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.”

“We are all exceptional cases. We all want to appeal against something! Each of us insists on being innocent at all cost, even if he has to accuse the whole human race and heaven itself.”
