Sylvia Plath
Image
And if you have no past or future which, after all, is all that the present is made of, why then you may as well dispose of the empty shell of present and commit suicide.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wanted to be where nobody I knew could ever come.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.
Sylvia Plath
Image
God has to remind us this isn't heaven by a long shot, so he increases the radios and lethal flies.
