I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Image
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
Sylvia Plath
Image
How can I tell Bob that my happiness streams from having wrenched a piece out of my life, a piece of hurt and beauty, and transformed it to typewritten words on paper? How can he know I am justifying my life, my keen emotions, my feeling, by turning it into print?
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.

Image
The moon has nothing to be sad about, Staring from her hood of bone. She is used to this sort of thing. Her blacks crackle and drag.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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.

Image
Sometimes I feel so stupid and dull and uncreative that I am amazed when people tell me differently.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
What is so real as the cry of a child?
Sylvia Plath
Image
I knew chemistry would be worse, because I'd seen a big card of the ninety-odd elements hung up in the chemistry lab, and all the perfectly good words like gold and silver and cobalt and aluminum were shortened to ugly abbreviations with different decimal numbers after them.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If every soldier refused to take arms ... there would be no wars but no one has the courage to be the first to live according to Christ and Socrates, because in a world of opportunists they would be martyred.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Sunday-the doctor's paradise! Doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Good to know that if I ever need attention all I have to do is die.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I was my own woman. The next step was to find the proper sort of man.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
Sylvia Plath

How we need another soul to cling to.
