More quotes by Sylvia Plath
Don't let the wicked city get you down.
Sylvia Plath
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
Sylvia Plath
As from a star I saw, coldly and soberly, the separateness of everything. I felt the wall of my skin I am I. That stone is a stone. My beautiful fusion with the things of this world was over.
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
I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.
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
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
Sylvia Plath
When they asked some old Roman philosopher or other how he wanted to die, he said he would open his veins in a warm bath. I thought it would be easy, lying in the tup and seeing the redness flower from my wrists, flush after flush through the clear water, till I sank into sleep under a surface gaudy as poppies.
Sylvia Plath
O heart, such disorganization!
Sylvia Plath
I collect men with interesting names.
Sylvia Plath
You are the one. Solid the spaces lean on, envious. You are the baby in the barn.
Sylvia Plath
I had hoped, at my departure, I would feel sure and knowledgeable about everything that lay ahead -- after all, I had been analyzed. Instead, all I could see were question marks.
Sylvia Plath
In spite of everything, I still have my good old sense of humor.
Sylvia Plath
There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
Sylvia Plath
Doing all the little tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world.
Sylvia Plath
I wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost...but won't. It is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. I want someone to mouth me.
Sylvia Plath
If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier.
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
I've got to have something. I want to stop it all, the whole monumental grotesque joke, before it's too late. But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.
