Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that - I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much - so very much to learn.

More quotes by Sylvia Plath
Beached under the spumy blooms, we lie Sea-sick and fever-dry.
Sylvia Plath
If only I knew what I wanted I could try to see about getting it.
Sylvia Plath
I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.
Sylvia Plath
How we need another soul to cling to.
Sylvia Plath
I do not love I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit.
Sylvia Plath
Is there no way out of the mind?
Sylvia Plath
Let me sit in a flowerpot, The spiders won't notice. My heart is a stopped geranium.
Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.
Sylvia Plath
I felt wise and cynical as all hell.
Sylvia Plath
My life is a discipline, a prison: I live for my own work, without which I am nothing.
Sylvia Plath
I think I may well be a Jew.
Sylvia Plath
One thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.
Sylvia Plath
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
The box is only temporary.
Sylvia Plath
I didn't really see why people should look at me. Plenty of people looked queerer than I did.
Sylvia Plath
I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrific, like madness, being tortured, this sort of experience, and one should be able to manipulate these experiences with an informed and an intelligent mini.
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
Now I am silent, hate Up to my neck, Thick, thick. I do not speak.
Sylvia Plath
That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. 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
I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual.
Sylvia Plath
