If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.
Sylvia Plath (The Bell Jar)

I  didn’t want my picture taken because I was going to cry.  I didn’t know  why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or  looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs  would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week.

“I am I am I am.”

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream.
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
