If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll halt the clock That syncopates our love.

More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all.
Sylvia Plath
Miracles occur, If you dare to call those spasmodic Tricks of radiance miracles. The wait's begun again, The long wait for the angel, For that rare, random descent.
Sylvia Plath
The silence between us was so profound I thought part of it must be my fault.
Sylvia Plath
I suppose if I gave myself the chance I could be an alcoholic.
Sylvia Plath
I could feel the winter shaking my bones and banging my teeth together.
Sylvia Plath
What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
Sylvia Plath
The thing about writing is not to talk, but to do it no matter how bad or even mediocre it is, the process and production is the thing, not the sitting and theorizing about how one should write ideally, or how well one could write if one really wanted to or had the time.
Sylvia Plath
I have a violence in me that is hot as death-blood.
Sylvia Plath
And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.
Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am tonight.
Sylvia Plath
There is a certain clinical satisfaction in seeing just how bad things can get.
Sylvia Plath
What I want back is what I was Before the bed, before the knife, Before the brooch-pin and the salve Fixed me in this parenthesis Horses fluent in the wind, A place, a time gone out of mind.
Sylvia Plath
I must get my soul back from you I am killing my flesh without it.
Sylvia Plath
How we need another soul to cling to.
Sylvia Plath
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
I am too pure for you or anyone.
Sylvia Plath
I think I am worthwhile just because I have optical nerves and can try to put down what they perceive. What a fool!
Sylvia Plath
Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning.
Sylvia Plath
The moon, too, abases her subjects, but in the daytime she is ridiculous. Your dissatisfactions, on the other hand, arrive through the mailslot with loving regularity, white and blank, expansive as carbon monoxide. No day is safe from news of you, walking about in Africa maybe, but thinking of me.
Sylvia Plath
A psychiatrist is the god of our age. But they cost money.
Sylvia Plath
