If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappoint... - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

"The trouble about jumping was that if you didn't pick the right number of storeys, you might still be alive when you hit bottom."

"The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence."

"There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends."

"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."

"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy."
