“I am afraid. I am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes a numb, paralyzed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness. I never thought, I never wrote, I never suffered. I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb. I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all.”
