Poetry Quote by Sylvia Plath — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“LADY LAZARUS”

“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?”

“I’ll never speak to God again.”

“There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.”

“My flesh winced, in cowardice, from such a death.”

“I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed”

“There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.”

“I wanted to write some words you'd remember.”

“I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.”

“Surprised by joy—impatient as the Wind”

“We real cool. We”

“Falling in love was easy-when romantic attraction was combined with hungry, unsated desire, they formed a glamorous, glittering bauble as fragile as it was alluring, a bauble that could shatter as soon as it was grasped.”
