Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline, you've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space that you've just got to turn away all the peripherals.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
No, I won't try to escape myself by losing myself in artificial chatter 'Did you have a nice vacation?' 'Oh, yes, and you?' I'll stay here and try to pin that loneliness down.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches.
Sylvia Plath
Image

Sylvia Plath
Image
It is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Aloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like people, but to learn about one individual always appeals to me more than anything.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Look at that ugly dead mask here and do not forget it. It is a chalk mask with dead dry poison behind it, like the death angel. It is what I was this fall, and what I never want to be again. The pouting disconsolate mouth, the flat, bored, numb, expressionless eyes: symptoms of the foul decay within.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Now I am silent, hate Up to my neck, Thick, thick. I do not speak.
Sylvia Plath
Image
But everybody has exactly the same smiling frightened face, with the look that says: I'm important. If you only get to know me, you will see how important I am. Look into my eyes. Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I get into a rut, unable to yank my mind out of it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I'm happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one.
