Sylvia PlathI am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
About This Quote
You may be used to having a dark side, but it is not always a good thing. Thousands of years of psychology have shown us that the dark side of the personality can be a source of problems. It can make you do things you would regret later. And, it can make you feel very uncomfortable with yourself. If you are terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in you, let it be known that you do not need to keep quiet.
