“I am afraid of getting older. I am afraid of getting married. Spare me from cooking three meals a day. Spare me from the relentless cage of routine and rote. I want to be free. I want, I want to think, to be omniscient. I think I would like to call myself ‘The Girl who wanted to be God.’”

Sylvia Plath, written in 1949 at age 17  (via hateshiploveship)
