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 life. And I am horribly limited. -Sylvia Plath There is, after all, a kind of happiness in unhappiness, if it’s the right unhappiness. -Jonathan Franzen, Freedom
