Miracles occur, If you dare to call those spasmodic Tricks of radiance miracles. The wait's begun again, The long wait for the angel, For that rare, random descent.

More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.
Sylvia Plath
Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams.
Sylvia Plath
When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.
Sylvia Plath
God has to remind us this isn't heaven by a long shot, so he increases the radios and lethal flies.
Sylvia Plath
Aloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.
Sylvia Plath
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
All the heat and fear had purged itself. I felt surprisingly at peace. The bell jar hung suspended a few feet above my head. I was open to the circulating air.
Sylvia Plath
You have to be able to make a real creative life for Yourself, before you can expect anyone Else to provide one ready-made for you.
Sylvia Plath
I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.
Sylvia Plath
I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.
Sylvia Plath
I find that in a novel I can get more of life, perhaps not such intense life, but certainly more of life than in poetry.
Sylvia Plath
I want, I think, to be omniscient. I think I would like to call myself the girl who wanted to be God. Yet if I were not in this body where would I be-perhaps I am destined to be classified and qualified. But, oh, I cry out against it.
Sylvia Plath
There was a beautiful time.
Sylvia Plath
Dying Is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.
Sylvia Plath
What I hate is the thought of being under a man's thumb, I had told Doctor Nolan. A man doesn't have a worry in the world, while I've got a baby hanging over my head like a big stick, to keep me in line.
Sylvia Plath
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it.
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all.
Sylvia Plath
There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone. There is an off-focus light cast by the moon, and the streetlights are part of the spotlight apparatus on a bare stage set up for you to walk through. You get a feeling of being listened to, so you talk aloud, softly, to see how it sounds.
Sylvia Plath
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.
Sylvia Plath
