“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

Saturday's Quote: Baldwin

I've got grad school applications to put together today, so I only have time to leave you with this quote:

"I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do." --James Baldwin
