I am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHWhat horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
SYLVIA PLATHThe truth comes to me. The truth loves me.
SYLVIA PLATHEverything in life is writable.
SYLVIA PLATHI talk to God but the sky is empty.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.
SYLVIA PLATHI am not cruel, only truthful.
SYLVIA PLATHKiss me, and you will see how important I am.
SYLVIA PLATHI didn’t want my picture taken because I was going to cry. I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week.
SYLVIA PLATHWe should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
SYLVIA PLATHSee, the darkness is leaking from the cracks. I cannot contain it. I cannot contain my life.
SYLVIA PLATHEvery day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
SYLVIA PLATHThe constant struggle in mature life, I think, is to accept the necessity of tragedy and conflict, and not to try to escape to some falsely simple solution which does not include these more somber complexities.
SYLVIA PLATHTomorrow is another day toward death.
SYLVIA PLATHThere is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room.
SYLVIA PLATHWear your heart on your skin in this life.
SYLVIA PLATH
