“I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.”

“We met, we recognized each other, we abandoned ourselves one to the other.

We have lived a love of burning, pure crystal.

Do you realize what happiness we have, and what has been given to us?”

// María Casares, a letter to Albert Camus written c. March 1952

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”

Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
