The one thing I was good at was winning scholarships and prizes, and that era was coming to an end. - Sylvia Plath

There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.

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.

Frustrated? Yes. Why? Because it is impossible for me to be God — or the universal woman-and-man — or anything much. I am what I feel and think and do. I want to express my being as fully as I can because I somewhere picked up the idea that I could justify my being alive that way.
