Top 4 A. Alvarez Quotes (2024 Update)

1. “Suicide is a confession of failure. And like divorce, it is shrouded in excuses and rationalizations spun endlessly to disguise the simple fact that all one’s energy, passion, appetite and ambition have been aborted.”

— A. Alvarez

2. “Suicide creates his own society: to shut yourself off from other people in some dingy, rented box and stare, like Melville’s Bartleby, day in and day out at the dead wall outside your window is in itself a rejection of the world which is said to be rejecting you. It is a way of saying, like Bartleby, ‘I prefer not to’ to every offer and every possibility, which is a condition no amount of social engineering will cure.”

— A. Alvarez

3. “For the artist himself art is not necessarily therapeutic; he is not automatically relieved of his fantasies by expressing them. Instead, by some perverse logic of creation, the act of formal expressions may simply make the dredged-up material more readily available to him.”

— A. Alvarez

4. “The pity is not that there is a myth of Sylvia Plath but that the myth is not simply that of an enormously gifted poet whose death came carelessly, by mistake, and too soon.”

— A. Alvarez
