SYLVIA PLATHAs a poet, one lives a bit on air. I always like someone who can teach me something practical.
SYLVIA PLATHOne thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.
SYLVIA PLATHI am myself. That is not enough.
SYLVIA PLATHSee, the darkness is leaking from the cracks. I cannot contain it. I cannot contain my life.
SYLVIA PLATHLove is the bone and sinew of my curse.
SYLVIA PLATHSo learn about life. Cut yourself a big slice with the silver server, a big slice of pie. Open your eyes. Let life happen.
SYLVIA PLATHPlease don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
SYLVIA PLATHKiss me, and you will see how important I am.
SYLVIA PLATHPerhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHIntoxicated with madness, I’m in love with my sadness.
SYLVIA PLATHWhen you give someone your whole heart and he doesn’t want it, you cannot take it back. It’s gone forever.
SYLVIA PLATHI write only because There is a voice within me That will not be still.
SYLVIA PLATHI want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love.
SYLVIA PLATHI am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
SYLVIA PLATHOpinions are like orgasms, mine matters most and I really don’t care if you have one.
SYLVIA PLATH
