"I want to be a woman who is a wife and mother, but also a famous writer. I want to have a life of my own, and not just be an appendage to a man."

"I am afraid. I am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes a numb, paralysed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness."

"God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates."

"I may be a fool, but I'm not a stupid fool."

"If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier."
