How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.
SYLVIA PLATHHow we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.
SYLVIA PLATHAfter all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
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 PLATHI am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
SYLVIA PLATHI feel terribly vulnerable and ‘not-myself’ when I’m not writing.
SYLVIA PLATHI find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.
SYLVIA PLATHIf you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.
SYLVIA PLATHSo much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.
SYLVIA PLATHI am dead to them, even though I once flowered.
SYLVIA PLATHPeople or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
SYLVIA PLATHWe must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine.
SYLVIA PLATHI am too pure for you or anyone.
SYLVIA PLATHI want to be important. By being different. And these girls are all the same.
SYLVIA PLATHCheers for spring; for life; for a growing soul.
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 PLATHSo learn about life. Cut yourself a big slice with the silver server, a big slice of pie. Open your eyes. Let life happen.
