Well, this was unbearable! Nothing, nothing! Nothing but my own pornography preying on them!

Sylvia Plath
“I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Albert Camus
“Killing yourself amounts to confessing. It is confessing that life is too much for you or that you do not understand it… It is merely confessing that it ‘is not worth the trouble.’ Living, naturally, is never easy. You continue making the gestures commanded by existence for many reasons, the first of which is habit. Dying voluntarily implies that you have recognized, even instinctively, the ridiculous character of that habit, the absence of any profound reason for living, the insane character of that daily agitation and the uselessness of suffering. — Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus. (Penguin Classic November 26, 2013) Originally published 1942.”
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays

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
