“I didn't know shorthand either.

This meant I couldn't get a good job after college. My mother kept telling me nobody wanted a plain English major. But an English major who knew shorthand would be something else again. Everybody would want her. She would be in demand among all the up-and-coming young men and she would transcribe letter after thrilling letter.

The trouble was, I hated the idea of serving men in any way. I wanted to dictate my own thrilling letters.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“I knew you'd decide to be all right again.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.”
― Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf
