So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about numb as a slave in some private, totalitarian state.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Edgar Allan Poe
“tinha mania de chamar de "esquisito" tudo o que estava além da própria compreensão, vivendo assim cercado por uma verdadeira legião de "esquisitices”
Edgar Allan Poe, Edgar Allan Poe: Medo Clássico

Sylvia Plath
“I thought it sounded just like the sort of drug a man would invent. Here was a woman in terrible pain, obviously feeling every bit of it or she wouldn’t groan like that, and she would go straight home and start another baby, because the drug would make her forget how bad the pain had been, when all the time, in some secret part of her, that long, blind, doorless and windowless corridor of pain was waiting to open up and shut her in again.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Frank Zappa
“So many books, so little time.”
Frank Zappa

Delia Owens
“Autumn leaves don't fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
