"What is my life for and what am I going to do with it? I don't know and I'm afraid. I can never read a the books I want; I can ever be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel and the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited. (...) I have much to live for, yet unaccountably I am sick and sad."
