I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
SYLVIA PLATHI have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be important. By being different. And these girls are all the same.
SYLVIA PLATHWhat I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.
SYLVIA PLATHCheers for spring; for life; for a growing soul.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
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 PLATHKiss me, and you will see how important I am.
SYLVIA PLATHI have stitched life into me like a rare organ.
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 PLATHGo out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.
SYLVIA PLATHLove is the bone and sinew of my curse.
SYLVIA PLATHI must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.
SYLVIA PLATHPerfection is terrible, it cannot have children.
SYLVIA PLATHLove is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it
SYLVIA PLATHI felt wise and cynical as all hell.
SYLVIA PLATHAs a poet, one lives a bit on air. I always like someone who can teach me something practical.
SYLVIA PLATH
