Sylvia Plath, Remembered

I expect I could fill a whole year of quotes with Sylvia Plath. And this despite the fact that her life was so short, ending at age 30 by suicide on this day in 1963. Imagine how much more beauty she might have added to the world.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.” – Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
