More quotes by Sylvia Plath
Don't let the wicked city get you down.
Sylvia Plath
If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.
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
The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
Sylvia Plath
Ash, ash —- You poke and stir. Flesh, bone, there is nothing there—— A cake of soap, A wedding ring, A gold filling. Herr God, Herr Lucifer Beware Beware. Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And I eat men like air.
Sylvia Plath
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath
I have a violence in me that is hot as death-blood.
Sylvia Plath
Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?
Sylvia Plath
If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll halt the clock That syncopates our love.
Sylvia Plath
The sky leans on me, me, the one upright among all horizontals.
Sylvia Plath
I had always imagined myself hitching up on to my elbows on the delivery table after it was all over - dead white, of course, with no makeup and from the awful ordeal, but smiling and radiant, with my hair down to my waist, and reaching out for my first little squirmy child and saying its name, whatever it was.
Sylvia Plath
I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet.
Sylvia Plath
I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of New York, for near unto an hour, and I felt myself growing pure again. I don't believe in baptism or the waters of Jordan or anything like that, but I guess I feel about a hot bath the way those religious people feel about holy water.
Sylvia Plath
A psychiatrist is the god of our age. But they cost money.
Sylvia Plath
I have taken a pill to kill The thin Papery feeling.
Sylvia Plath
Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.
Sylvia Plath
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
I am solitary as grass. What is it I miss? Shall I ever find it, whatever it is?
Sylvia Plath
A man's world is different from a woman's world and a man's emotions are different from a woman's emotions and only marriage can bring the two different sets of emotions together properly.
Sylvia Plath
The moon, too, abases her subjects, but in the daytime she is ridiculous. Your dissatisfactions, on the other hand, arrive through the mailslot with loving regularity, white and blank, expansive as carbon monoxide. No day is safe from news of you, walking about in Africa maybe, but thinking of me.
