"now i'm exhausted and all those thoughts and words seem to have evaporated. is this what happens? is this growing up? i don't want to sacrifice my creativity to become another mindless cog in our society.
i always look at other people and wonder what they're thinking: if they're thinking about the same stuff as me, or if they're really just wondering what to make for dinner.
i don't want to end up like that, i don't want to drown." - M.
"I felt very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo." - The Bell Jar
"I liked looking on at other people in crucial situations. If there was a road accident or a street fight or a baby pickled in a laboratory jar for me to look at, I'd stop and look so hard I never forgot it.
I certainly learned a lot of things I never would have learned otherwise this way, and even when they surprised me or made me sick I never let on, but pretended that's the way I knew things were all the time." - The Bell Jar
