Her thighs thick but her patience thin
“I deserve a year, two years, to live my own self into being.”
- Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath.
“Men have used her meanly. She will eat them. Eat them, eat them, eat them in the end.”— Sylvia Plath, from Three Women in “The Collected Poems Of Sylvia Plath”
“Herr God, Herr Lucifer Beware Beware. Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air.”— Sylvia Plath, Lady Lazarus
““Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…””— Sylvia Plath
“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”— Murakami, Haruki. Sputnik Sweetheart (via sheholdsyoucaptivated)
