Image
Read widely of others' experiences, even if it'd be more comfortable to snuggle back in the comforting cotton-wool of blissful ignorance.
Sylvia Plath
Image
After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There is so much hurt in this game of searching for a mate, of testing, trying. And you realize suddenly that you forgot it was a game, and turn away in tears.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I hurl my heart to halt his pace.
Sylvia Plath
Image
What is so real as the cry of a child?
Sylvia Plath
Image
Winning or losing an argument, receiving an acceptance or rejection, is no proof of the validity or value of personal identity. One may be wrong, mistaken, or a poor craftsman, or just ignorant - but this is no indication of the true worth of one's total human identity: past, present and future!
Sylvia Plath
Image
Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it
Sylvia Plath
Image
I may have made a straight A in physics, but I was panic-struck. Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Talking about my fears to others feeds it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
Image
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
Sylvia Plath
Image
With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand... hopeless from the start.
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.
