“At this rate, I'd be lucky if I wrote a page a day.

Then I knew what the problem was.

― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Terror made me cruel . . .”
― Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

“I couldn't live where there were no trees--something vital in me would starve.”
― Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
