&ldquo;I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love&rsquo;s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I&rsquo;ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time&hellip;&rdquo;<br /> <br /> -Sylvia Plath
