If I have a dry spell ... I wait and live harder, eyes, ears, and heart open, and when the productive time comes, it is that much richer.

I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
Sylvia Plath

I hadn't, at the last moment, felt like washing off the two diagonal lines of dried blood that marked my cheeks. They seemed touching, and rather spectacular, and I thought I would carry them around with me, like the relic of a dead lover, till they wore off of their own accord.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks.

Aloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.

I have this demon who wants me to run away screaming if I am going to be flawed, fallible. It wants me to think I'm so good I must be perfect. Or nothing. I am, on the contrary, something: a being who gets tired, has shyness to fight, has more trouble than most facing people easily.

Dying Is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.

The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm
Sylvia Plath
Image
Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The moon has nothing to be sad about, Staring from her hood of bone. She is used to this sort of thing. Her blacks crackle and drag.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Winning or losing an argument, receiving an acceptance or rejection, is no proof of the validity or value of personal identity. One may be wrong, mistaken, or a poor craftsman, or just ignorant - but this is no indication of the true worth of one's total human identity: past, present and future!
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have let things slip, a thirty-year~old cargo boat Stubbornly hanging on to my name and address.

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
