Kiss me, and you will see how important I am. - Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
"Kiss me, and you will see how important I am."
"Kiss me, and you will see how important I am."
"I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between."
"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited."
"But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good."
"Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those."
"So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough."
