I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.
SYLVIA PLATHI must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.
SYLVIA PLATHThe abstract kills, the concrete saves.
SYLVIA PLATHWe must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine.
SYLVIA PLATHTomorrow is another day toward death.
SYLVIA PLATHPerfection is terrible, it cannot have children.
SYLVIA PLATHI have stitched life into me like a rare organ.
SYLVIA PLATHI write only because There is a voice within me That will not be still.
SYLVIA PLATHCompared with me, a tree is immortal.
SYLVIA PLATHHow we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be important. By being different. And these girls are all the same.
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 PLATHI am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
SYLVIA PLATHI have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATH
