It has been thought that students may be inspired to commit suicide after reading about Esther Greenwood's struggle with mental illness. Here are a few quotes from The Bell Jar.
  • "Doreen singled me out right away. She made me feel I was that much sharper than the others, and she really was wonderfully funny. She used to sit next to me at the conference table, and when the visiting celebrities were talking she'd whisper witty sarcastic remarks to me under her breath."
    - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 1
  • "There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the extra person in the room."
    - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 2
  • "After Doreen left, I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I shouldn't, the way Doreen did, and this made me even sadder and more tired."
    - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 3
  • "The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces."
    - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 4
  • "I hate handing over money for what I could just as easily do myself, it makes me nervous."
    - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 5
  • "Buddy kissed me again in front of the house steps, and the next fall, when his scholarship to medical school came through, I went there to see him instead of to Yale and it was there I found out that he had fooled me all those years and what a hypocrite he was."
