Sylvia Plath
“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.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Sylvia Plath
“Vi mi vida extendiendo sus ramas frente a mí como la higuera verde del cuento.

De la punta de cada rama, como si de un grueso higo morado se tratara, pendía un maravilloso futuro, señalado y rutilante. Un higo era un marido y un hogar feliz e hijos y otro higo era un famoso poeta, y otro higo era un brillante profesor, y otro higo era Europa y África y Sudamérica y otro higo era Constantino y Sócrates y Atila y un montón de otros amantes con nombres raros y profesionales poco usuales, y otro higo era una campeona de equipo olímpico de atletismo, y más allá y por encima de aquellos higos había muchos más higos que no podía identificar claramente.

Me vi a mí misma sentada en la bifurcación de ese árbol de higos, muriéndome de hambre sólo porque no podía decidir cuál de los higos escoger. Quería todos y cada uno de ellos, pero elegir uno significaba perder el resto, y, mientras yo estaba allí sentada, incapaz de decidirme, los higos empezaron a arrugarse y a tornarse negros y, uno por uno, cayeron al suelo, a mis pies.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
