More quotes by Sylvia Plath
It is a feeling that no matter what the ideas or conduct of others, there is a unique rightness and beauty to life which can be shared in openness, in wind and sunlight, with a fellow human being who believes in the same basic principles.
Sylvia Plath
I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.
Sylvia Plath
A dispassionate white sun shone at the summit of the sky. I wanted to hone myself on it till I grew saintly and thin and essential as the blade of a knife.
Sylvia Plath
I'm happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one.
Sylvia Plath
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
Sylvia Plath
Piece by piece, I fed my wardrobe to the night wind, and flutteringly, like a loved one’s ashes, the gray scraps were ferried off, to settle here, there, exactly where I would never know, in the dark heart of New York.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
A black-sharded lady keeps me in a parrot cage.
Sylvia Plath
And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches.
Sylvia Plath
The claw of the magnolia, drunk on its own scents, asks nothing of life.
Sylvia Plath
Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.
Sylvia Plath
I've eaten a bag of Green apples. Boarded the train, there's no getting off
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
A fierce brief fusion which dreamers call real, and realists, an illusion an insight like the flight of birds.
Sylvia Plath
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
I said: I must remember this, being small.
Sylvia Plath
What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.
