Image
There is a certain clinical satisfaction in seeing just how bad things can get.
Sylvia Plath
Image
... stop trying to get me to write about 'decent courageous people' -- read the Ladies' Home Journal for those! ... I believe in going through and facing the worst, not hiding from it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
Sylvia Plath
Image
But life is long. And it is the long run that balances the short flare of interest and passion.
Sylvia Plath
Image
For the few little successes I may seem to have, there are acres of misgivings and self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I suppose if I gave myself the chance I could be an alcoholic.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I must say that I am not very genteel and I feel that gentility has a stranglehold: the neatness, the wonderful tidiness, which is so evident everywhere in England is perhaps more dangerous than it would appear on the surface.

Image
There was a beautiful time.
Sylvia Plath
Image

Sylvia Plath
Image
I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have been holding a dialogue with myself and girding myself to stand fast without running.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I lean to you, numb as a fossil. Tell me I'm here.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt very low. I had been unmasked only that morning by Jay Cee herself, and I felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions I had about myself were coming true. After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of race.
Sylvia Plath
Image
My life is a discipline, a prison: I live for my own work, without which I am nothing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
