The Bell Jar

By Sylvia Plath QUOTATION: Sunday—the doctor’s paradise! Doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
ATTRIBUTION: Sylvia Plath (1932–1963), U.S. poet. The narrator, in The Bell Jar, ch. 19 (1963).

QUOTATION: If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I’m neurotic as hell. I’ll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.
