More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I do not love I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit.
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
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
Sylvia Plath
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
O heart, such disorganization!
Sylvia Plath
A black-sharded lady keeps me in a parrot cage.
Sylvia Plath
I hurl my heart to halt his pace.
Sylvia Plath
They would grow old. They would forget me.
Sylvia Plath
Love set you going like a fat gold watch. The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry Took its place among the elements.
Sylvia Plath
I suppose if I gave myself the chance I could be an alcoholic.
Sylvia Plath
What a man wants is a mate and what a woman wants is infinite security,’ and, ‘What a man is is an arrow into the future and a what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from.
Sylvia Plath
I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.
Sylvia Plath
It's the living, the eating, the sleeping that everyone needs. Ideas don't matter so much after all. My three best friends are Catholic. I can't see their beliefs, but I can see the things they love to do on earth. When you come right down to it, I do believe in the freedom of the individual.
Sylvia Plath
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space, that you've got to burn away all the peripherals.
Sylvia Plath
That afternoon my mother had brought me the roses. Save them for my funeral, I'd said.
Sylvia Plath
I felt dull and flat and full of shattered visions.
Sylvia Plath
I am not cruel, only truthful.
Sylvia Plath
Outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness. I look down into the warm, earthy world. Into a nest of lovers' beds, baby cribs, meal tables, all the solid commerce of life in this earth, and feel apart, enclosed in a wall of glass.
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
