More quotes by Sylvia Plath
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
I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrifying, like madness, being tortured...with an informed and intelligent mind.
Sylvia Plath
The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces.
Sylvia Plath
Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind snow, should numb and cover them. But they were a part of me. They were my landscape.
Sylvia Plath
See, the darkness is leaking from the cracks. I cannot contain it. I cannot contain my life.
Sylvia Plath
Tomorrow is another day toward death.
Sylvia Plath
They would grow old. They would forget me.
Sylvia Plath
I felt the mask crumple, the great poisonous store of corrosive ashes begin to spew out of my mouth.
Sylvia Plath
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
Sylvia Plath
I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Then I decided I would spend the summer writing a novel. That would fix a lot of people.
Sylvia Plath
I get into a rut, unable to yank my mind out of it.
Sylvia Plath
What did my arms do before they held you?
Sylvia Plath
You walked in, laughing, tears welling confused, mingling in your throat. How can you be so many women to so many people, oh you strange girl?
Sylvia Plath
I, to you, am lost in the gorgeous errors of flesh.
Sylvia Plath
It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries.
Sylvia Plath
I deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.
Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.
Sylvia Plath
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
