Sylvia Plath quotes - page 15

The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence. (Sylvia Plath)
When you are insane, you are busy being insane-all the time ... when I was crazy, that was all I was. View quote
Sylvia Plath
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. View quote
Sylvia Plath
I am inhabited by a cry. Nightly it flaps out Looking, with its hooks, for something to love.I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity. View quote
