About This Quote

In her memoir, A Moveable Feast, novelist and former poet Sylvia Plath writes about the romantic relationship she once had with Ted Hughes. Although Plath was a poet herself, she found that poetry was not enough to sustain a love that would last a lifetime. She realized that the best way to stay in love was to live apart from one another. In her own words, “I knew I’d have to get out of [his] house if we were going to have any more children.

I’d have to be away from [him] for a while—and I wanted to be far away from [him].” If you're too busy to do it right, you'll never get around to doing it at all. - Louise Hay
