“Not to be sentimental, as I sound, but why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland-fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?”

— Sylvia Plath (via suzywire) (via fuckyeahsylviaplath) (via skankk)
