I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes... - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again."
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again."
"I told him I believed in hell, and that certain people, like me, had to live in hell before they died, to make up for missing out on it after death, since they didn't believe in life after death, and what each person believed happened to him when he died."
"I wanted to crawl in between those black lines of print, the way you crawl through a fence, and go to sleep under that beautiful big green fig-tree."
"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace."
"I saw the years of my life spaced along a road in the form of telephone poles threaded together by wires. I counted one, two, three... nineteen telephone poles, and then the wires dangled into space, and try as I would, I couldn't see a single pole beyond the nineteenth."
"There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends."
