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 PLATHWe should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
SYLVIA PLATHI write only because There is a voice within me That will not be still.
SYLVIA PLATHThere is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
SYLVIA PLATHI am what I feel and think and do.
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 PLATHI desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
SYLVIA PLATHEvery day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
SYLVIA PLATHI find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.
SYLVIA PLATHI felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.
SYLVIA PLATHThe hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted and spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.
SYLVIA PLATHDon’t let the wicked city get you down.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
SYLVIA PLATHGo out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.
SYLVIA PLATHThe abstract kills, the concrete saves.
SYLVIA PLATH
