More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
Love, love, I have hung our cave with roses.
Sylvia Plath
I am flushed and warm. I think I may be enormous, I am so stupidly happy, My wellingtons Squelching and squelching through the beautiful red.
Sylvia Plath
I am still so naïve I know pretty much what I like and dislike but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?
Sylvia Plath
That afternoon my mother had brought me the roses. Save them for my funeral, I'd said.
Sylvia Plath
I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.
Sylvia Plath
I think I may well be a Jew.
Sylvia Plath
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
Sylvia Plath
What I want back is what I was Before the bed, before the knife, Before the brooch-pin and the salve Fixed me in this parenthesis Horses fluent in the wind, A place, a time gone out of mind.
Sylvia Plath
I have the one person I could ever love in this world. Now I must work to be a person worthy of that.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
The moon has nothing to be sad about, Staring from her hood of bone. She is used to this sort of thing. Her blacks crackle and drag.
Sylvia Plath
If I have a dry spell ... I wait and live harder, eyes, ears, and heart open, and when the productive time comes, it is that much richer.
Sylvia Plath
I had imagined a kind, ugly, intuitive man looking up and say, 'Ah!' in an encouraging way, as if he could see something I couldn't, and then I would find words to tell him how I was so scared, as if I were being stuffed farther and farther into a black, airless sack with no way out.
Sylvia Plath
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
I didn't really see why people should look at me. Plenty of people looked queerer than I did.
Sylvia Plath
I wanted to crawl in between those black lines of print, the way you crawl through a fence, and go to sleep under that beautiful big green fig-tree.
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
Sylvia Plath
There was a beautiful time.
Sylvia Plath
