SYLVIA PLATHAs a poet, one lives a bit on air. I always like someone who can teach me something practical.
SYLVIA PLATHDying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.
SYLVIA PLATHI’m sarcastic, skeptical, and sometimes callous because I’m still afraid, deep down, of letting myself be hurt.
SYLVIA PLATHOnly I wasn’t steering anything, not even myself.
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 PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHI like people too much or not at all. I’ve got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
SYLVIA PLATHWhat I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.
SYLVIA PLATHLove life day by day, color by color, touch by touch.
SYLVIA PLATHWear your heart on your skin in this life.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt wise and cynical as all hell.
SYLVIA PLATHThe trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn’t thought about it.
SYLVIA PLATHIt is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.
SYLVIA PLATHI dream too much, work too little.
SYLVIA PLATHIf the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows.
