Who Wrote This?

  'I do not believe that the meek will inherit the earth. It is the bold, the loud mouthed, the cruel, the vital, the revolutionaries, the mighty in arms and will, who march over the soft patient flesh that lies beneath their cleated boots.'

I wrote this down myself in my ramblings but I didn't register who wrote it, and I need to know.,

Google tells me it was Sylvia Plath

 

I am re-reading The Bell Jar for the third time, and maybe that's where I remember reading it. But I googled that sentence a few weeks ago before posting here, but nothing came up.

 

Sylvia Plath, from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath; July 1950-1953.

 

Thanks Luigi, I did lose that book when I moved back here from Oxford some years ago. The riddle is solved.
