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 PLATHPerhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
SYLVIA PLATHWhen you give someone your whole heart and he doesn’t want it, you cannot take it back. It’s gone forever.
SYLVIA PLATHPeople or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHWe should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
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 PLATHEternity bores me, I never wanted it.
SYLVIA PLATHPerhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
SYLVIA PLATHIt’s a hell of a responsibility to be yourself. It’s much easier to be somebody else or nobody at all.
SYLVIA PLATHWhat horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
SYLVIA PLATHWhat I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I’d never seen before in my life.
