anolta | 20 comments Can you please delete this quote https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/8431... ?
It has been wrongly attributed to Sylvia Plath. I did an extensive research and cannot find it in any of her works. It can be only found on pages with quotes or in texts, where people quote it as Plath's, but there is never a source which book it is actually coming from. I think it's safe to say that it's not by Sylvia Plath and wrongly labeled as such.

Thank you :)

Hi anolta

Google shows it as being from a letter Sylvia Plath wrote to Eddie Cohen, circa 11 September 1950.

The original quotes are already attributed to Henry Ford, Shon Mehta, Nelson Mandela.

Thank You.

Hi Jennifer

I had to think about this, because quotes within a quote are allowed as long as the originator of the quote is credited. But in these cases the originator of the quote wasn't credited so I have removed, along with a couple of others.

If they reappear you may want to contact Support so they can reach out to the author.
