Image
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It was my last act of love (first words to her mother in the hospital after her first major suicide attempt)
Sylvia Plath
Image
In spite of everything, I still have my good old sense of humor.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Pretty soon, the only doubt in my mind was the precise time and method of committing suicide. The only alternative I could see was an eternity of hell for the rest of my life in a mental hospital, and I was going to use my last ounce of free choice and choose a quick clean ending.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted & spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath

I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have, but I must say I cannot sympathise with these cries from the heart that are informed by nothing except a needle or a knife, or whatever it is.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Talking about my fears to others feeds it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Is anyone anywhere happy?
Sylvia Plath
Image
Sometimes I feel like I'm not solid. I'm hollow. There's nothing behind my eyes. I'm a negative of a person. All I want is blackness, blackness and silence.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
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 am so hungry for a big smashing creative burgeoning burdened love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.
Sylvia Plath
