Three Women Quotes

“I wait and ache.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“It is a terrible thing
To be so open: it is as if my heart
Put on a face and walked into the world.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“I have had my chances. I have tried and tried.
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ,
And walked carefully, precariously, like something rare.
I have tried not to think too hard. I have tried to be natural.
I have tried to be blind in love, like other women,
Blind in my bed, with my dear blind sweet one,
Not looking, through the thick dark, for the face of another.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems

“Some people live their lives as if they are sure they are going to get another one. One more chance to be cool and popular or smart and rich and have a lot of sex. They act as if its ok to hang back on this one and merely watch it like a movie.”
― Lisa Taddeo, Three Women
