“I wanted to tell her that if only something were wrong with my body it would be fine, I would rather have anything wrong with my body than something wrong with my head, but the idea seemed so involved and wearisome that I didn’t say anything. I only burrowed down further in the bed.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“If I was going to fall, I would hang on to my small comforts, at least, for as long as I possibly could.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde
