because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.

More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I had hoped, at my departure, I would feel sure and knowledgeable about everything that lay ahead -- after all, I had been analyzed. Instead, all I could see were question marks.
Sylvia Plath
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
Sylvia Plath
We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
Sylvia Plath
A fierce brief fusion which dreamers call real, and realists, an illusion an insight like the flight of birds.
Sylvia Plath
I am made, crudely, for success.
Sylvia Plath
I am accused. I dream of massacres. I am a garden of black and red agonies. I drink them, Hating myself, hating and fearing. And now the world conceives Its end and runs toward it, arms held out in love.
Sylvia Plath
I am myself. That is not enough.
Sylvia Plath
I'm about fifty years behind as far as my preferences go and I must say that the poets who excite me most are the Americans. There are very few contemporary English poets that I admire.
Sylvia Plath
Tomorrow I will curse the dawn, but there will be other, earlier nights, and the dawns will be no longer hell laid out in alarms and raw bells and sirens.
Sylvia Plath
What did my arms do before they held you?
Sylvia Plath
I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
Sylvia Plath
No, I won't try to escape myself by losing myself in artificial chatter 'Did you have a nice vacation?' 'Oh, yes, and you?' I'll stay here and try to pin that loneliness down.
Sylvia Plath
To learn and think to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
No day is safe from news of you.
Sylvia Plath
I wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost...but won't. It is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. I want someone to mouth me.
Sylvia Plath
I feel terribly vulnerable and 'not-myself' when I'm not writing.
Sylvia Plath
You are a dream I hope I never meet you.
Sylvia Plath
Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
Sylvia Plath
I must say that I am not very genteel and I feel that gentility has a stranglehold: the neatness, the wonderful tidiness, which is so evident everywhere in England is perhaps more dangerous than it would appear on the surface.
Sylvia Plath
How frail the human heart must be - a mirrored pool of thought.
