Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those. Sylvia Plath
About This Quote

If you are infatuated with someone, you are very in love with that person. You may even feel that you can’t live without them. If you are already in love with the person, then you know exactly how it feels when someone is in love with you. You also know how it feels when someone decides to cut off their relationship with you because they don’t want to be in love any more. The feelings of being in love with someone are too intense for most people to really understand unless they have been through it themselves.
