SYLVIA PLATHAfter all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
SYLVIA PLATHThe hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted and spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.
SYLVIA PLATHLove is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it
SYLVIA PLATHI felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery – air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, This is what it is to be happy.
SYLVIA PLATHI hate handing over money to people for doing what I could just as easily do myself, it makes me nervous.
SYLVIA PLATHI shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.
SYLVIA PLATHI want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love.
SYLVIA PLATHBefore I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams.
SYLVIA PLATHEverything in life is writable.
SYLVIA PLATHI find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.
SYLVIA PLATHWear your heart on your skin in this life.
SYLVIA PLATHDying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.
SYLVIA PLATHSometimes I feel like I’m not solid. I’m hollow. There’s nothing behind my eyes. I’m a negative of a person. All I want is blackness, blackness and silence.
SYLVIA PLATHWe should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
