More quotes by Sylvia Plath
There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone. There is an off-focus light cast by the moon, and the streetlights are part of the spotlight apparatus on a bare stage set up for you to walk through. You get a feeling of being listened to, so you talk aloud, softly, to see how it sounds.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Joy:show joy & enjoy: then others will be joyful.

Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am tonight.
Sylvia Plath
Why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and-cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?
Sylvia Plath
I collected men with interesting names. I already knew a Socrates. He was tall and ugly and intellectual and the son of some big Greek movie producer in Hollywood, but also a Catholic, which ruined it for both of us.
Sylvia Plath
If I was going to fall, I would hang on to my small comforts, at least, for as long as I possibly could.
Sylvia Plath
I saw the years of my life spaced along a road in the form of telephone poles threaded together by wires. I counted one, two, three... nineteen telephone poles, and then the wires dangled into space, and try as I would, I couldn't see a single pole beyond the nineteenth.
Sylvia Plath
I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here.
Sylvia Plath
There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
Sylvia Plath
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
There was a beautiful time.
Sylvia Plath
I am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence.
Sylvia Plath
We stayed at home to write, to consolidate our outstretched selves.
Sylvia Plath
I get into a rut, unable to yank my mind out of it.
