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

“I told him I believed in hell, and that certain people, like me, had to live in hell before they died, to make up for missing out on it after death, since they didn't believe in life after death, and what each person believed happened to him when he died.”

“The truth comes to me. The truth loves me.”

“The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper,”

“I need a father. I need a mother. I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty.”

“What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.”

“LADY LAZARUS”

“There is also a third kind of madness, which is possession by the Muses, enters into a delicate and virgin soul, and there inspiring frenzy, awakens lyric....But he, who, not being inspired and having no touch of madness in his soul, comes to the door and thinks he will get into the temple by the help of art--he, I say, and his poetry are not admitted; the sane man is nowhere at all when he enters into rivalry with the madman.”

“Eché mi esperanza al mar:”

“Looks like what drives me crazy”

“The magic fades too fast”

“Gloomy room”

“What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew”
