I suppose if I gave myself the chance I could be an alcoholic.
Sylvia PlathFor I must get back my soul from you; I am killing my flesh without it.
Sylvia PlathIf you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter - - - for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself....
