So learn about life. Cut yourself a big slice with the silver server, a big slice of pie. Open your eyes. Let life happen.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not love I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Feel oddly barren. My sickness is when words draw in their horns and the physical world refuses to be ordered, recreated, arranged and selected. I am a victim of it then, not a master.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not know who I am tonight.
