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.

More From Sylvia Plath

I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.
Tone Variation Want
The first colour charts were unsystematic. they were based directly on commercial colour samples. they were still related to pop art. in the canvases that followed, the colours were chosen arbitrarily and drawn by chance. then, 180 tones were mixed according to a given system and drawn by chance to make four variations of 180 tones. but after that the number 180 seemed too arbitrary to me, so i developed a system based on a number of rigorously defined tones and proportions.
Art Numbers Arbitrary
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. except in this case i was all the parts: i was the lover on the platform, i was the lover on the train. and i was also the train.
Giving Up Lovers Classic
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

If a psychological maxwell devises a general theory of mind, he may make it possible for a psychological einstein to follow with a theory that the mental and the physical are really the same. but this could happen only at the end of a process which began with the recognition that the mental is something completely different from the physical world as we have come to know it through a certain highly successful form of detached objective understanding. only if the uniqueness of the mental is recognized will concepts and theories be devised especially for the purpose of understanding it.

I tell the players that they can't relive any day in their lives and that they can't relive the minutes of a game, so they should make a great effort, a mount everest type effort, to live up to their potential. success is a communal type thing, and if we win, then everyone can be considered successful and we can move uptown together.
Sports Moving Successful
A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. we can affect its character; we cannot alter its inevitability.
Wise Character Successful
When we find a man meditating on the words of god, my friends, that man is full of boldness and is successful.
Successful Men Word Of God
Remember that the best and greatest among mankind are those who do themselves no worldly good. every successful man is more or less a selfish man. the devoted fail.
