Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. How free it is, you have no idea how free.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am disabused of all faith, and see too clearly.
Sylvia Plath

So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.
Sylvia Plath
