“Bertrand Russell wrote that 'To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three-parts dead'.”
― Matt Haig , The Midnight Library

“I have had my chances. I have tried and tried.
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ,
And walked carefully, precariously, like something rare.
I have tried not to think too hard. I have tried to be natural.
I have tried to be blind in love, like other women,
Blind in my bed, with my dear blind sweet one,
Not looking, through the thick dark, for the face of another.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“It is a terrible thing
To be so open: it is as if my heart
Put on a face and walked into the world.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems
