Your Favourite Quotes and Sayings

Fancy! I was joking, btw. I like the poem. I just enjoy acting like a thick misogynist around Plath fans. Hey, I'm as easy to take the piss out of. ;)

This one makes me so sad: "I'm really lucky I'm still around. Everybody expected me to die next... But it was always someone else instead of me."
 
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

- a most creative & emotive piece of prose. More than a saying, but I'll ride on NEs nonconformist coat-tails :D

Her stuff is always nice in that wrenching way...so much is true. Love is a bitch. She finally found herself in death.


"The spiritual path is truly simple. It is simple because it is not about acquiring, accumulating, or achieving anything. It is all about giving up what we don't need. It's about giving up what isn't useful instead of acquiring things with the idea of going somewhere or achieving something. That was the old game. That game which we have been playing for a long time is like a vicious circle. It has no end.

Sometimes the spiritual search itself prevents us from seeing the truth that is always one with us. We have to know when to stop the search. There are people who die while they are searching for the highest truth with philosophical formulas and esoteric techniques. For them spiritual practice becomes another egoic plot which simply maintains and feeds delusions. Amazing! Buddha, God, truth, the divine, the great mystery, whatever you have been searching for, is here right now."
~Anam Thubten

 
“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal”- John Lennon

I'm glad you rebelled and posted the whole poem. (Theres a few Tennyson poems, particularly The Lady of Shallot that I've so far resisted temptation to paste in its entirety)..I studied Sylvia Plath briefly in my early twenties but couldn't really relate to her work. It could be argued, that that 'miserable sow' appeals to women who have enjoyed and suffered more of life..

That poem really touched me though so I looked up a few commentaries. Had to post this one by Margaret Dickie.

In "Stings," . . . she and a man in "white smiles" remove the honey cells from the hive. Once again the queen bee does not show herself; if she exists at all, she is old, "Poor and bare and unqueenly and even shameful." All that the speaker recognizes are "winged, unmiraculous women / Honeydrudgers," with whom she does not want to identify, although she wonders if "These women who only scurry" will hate her. In control now, she sees "A third person watching," who has nothing to do with the bee-seller and herself. He is "a great scapegoat," the person the bees attack. "They thought death was worth it," but the beekeeper refuses that death. "I / Have a self to recover, a queen," she admits, although again she does not find her but imagines her as a flying "red comet."

This curious choice between revenge on the man which means death and recovering a self which signifies life introduces a prophetic note into the poem.
