So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need the reality of other people, work, to fulfill myself. Must never become a mere mother and housewife.
