I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.
SYLVIA PLATHOne thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.
SYLVIA PLATHThe truth comes to me. The truth loves me.
SYLVIA PLATHHour by hour, day by day, life becomes possible.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I’d never seen before in my life.
SYLVIA PLATHPeople or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
SYLVIA PLATHWe should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
SYLVIA PLATHDon’t let the wicked city get you down.
SYLVIA PLATHWear your heart on your skin in this life.
SYLVIA PLATHMy mother said the cure for thinking too much about yourself was helping somebody who was worse off than you.
SYLVIA PLATHI knew you’d decide to be all right again.
SYLVIA PLATHThe sheets grow heavy as a lecher’s kiss.
SYLVIA PLATHAnd by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
SYLVIA PLATHThere is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
SYLVIA PLATHI find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.
SYLVIA PLATHThe abstract kills, the concrete saves.
SYLVIA PLATH
