Saturday, December 2nd.
Sylvia Plath.
It's a dark and cold day in December and so, naturally, we are left with no choice but to celebrate the sublime and singular talent of Sylvia Plath. That means two entire days of quotes, pictures, and exceptional memes of a literary, existential flavor.
Happy reading, folks. Use your weekends well.

OCTOBER 13: Tuesday
Very depressed today. Unable to write a thing. Menacing gods. I feel outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness.

It is awful to want
to go away and to
want to go
nowhere.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

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
