sylvia plath quotes for the signs:

smallestlight:

aries: “i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.” 

taurus: “the floor seemed wonderfully solid. it was comforting to know i had fallen and could fall no farther.”  

gemini: “i want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and i am horribly limited.”

cancer: “perhaps some day i’ll crawl back home, beaten and defeated. but not as long as i can make stories out of my heartbreak; beauty out of sorrow.”

leo: “i want to taste and glory in each day; to never be afraid to experience pain, to never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or to stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.”

virgo: “what horrfies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.” 

libra: “i felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery – air, mountains, trees, people. i thought, ‘this is what it is to be happy.’” 

scorpio: “if the moon smiled, she would resemble you. you leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.”  

sagittarius: “i wanted change and excitement and to shoot off into all directions myself, like the colored arrows of a fourth of july rocket.”

capricorn: “i took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: i am, i am, i am.”

aquarius: “i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. i lift my lids and all is born again.” 

pisces: “here i am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. i remember what this flesh has gone through; i dream of what it may go through.”
