Sylvia Plath Love Quotations

Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.

When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.

The truth comes to me. The truth loves me.

Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it

I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.

Love life day by day, color by color, touch by touch.

I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.

That is salvation. To give of love inside. To keep love of life, no matter what, and give to others. Generously.

I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll halt the clock That syncopates our love.

Love is the bone and sinew of my curse.

I do not love; I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit.

Is it the sea you hear in me? Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness? Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it.
