We know a thing by its opposite corollary hot by having experienced cold good by having decided what is bad love by hate.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I don't know what started me, I just wrote poetry from the time was quite small. I guess I liked nursery rhymes and I guess I thought I could do the same thing. I wrote my first poem, my first published poem, when I was eight-and-a-half years old. It came out in The Boston Traveller and from then on, I suppose, I've been a bit of a professional.

Image
God, it was good to let go, let the tight mask fall off, and the bewildered, chaotic fragments pour out. It was the purge, the catharsis.

Character is fate.

Sylvia Plath

I felt dull and flat and full of shattered visions.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see, I swallow immediately. Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am solitary as grass. What is it I miss? Shall I ever find it, whatever it is?
Sylvia Plath
Image
How frail the human heart must be - a mirrored pool of thought.
Sylvia Plath
Image
After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space, that you've got to burn away all the peripherals.
Sylvia Plath
Image
How can I tell Bob that my happiness streams from having wrenched a piece out of my life, a piece of hurt and beauty, and transformed it to typewritten words on paper? How can he know I am justifying my life, my keen emotions, my feeling, by turning it into print?
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind snow, should numb and cover them. But they were a part of me. They were my landscape.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Why do we electrocute men for murdering an individual and then pin a purple heart on them for mass slaughter of someone arbitrarily labeled “enemy?

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