Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I have a call.

Sylvia Plath
Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it...
Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it...
Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it...
Dying is an art. Like everything else, I do it...
