More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I felt the mask crumple, the great poisonous store of corrosive ashes begin to spew out of my mouth.
Sylvia Plath
I would say everything should be able to come into a poem, but I can't put toothbrushes into a poem, I really can't!
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
Sylvia Plath
I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.
Sylvia Plath
I must bridge the gap between adolescent glitter and mature glow.
Sylvia Plath
Eternity bores me, I never wanted it.
Sylvia Plath
I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.
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
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
Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning.
Sylvia Plath
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
Sylvia Plath
The sky leans on me, me, the one upright among all horizontals.
Sylvia Plath
Miracles occur, If you dare to call those spasmodic Tricks of radiance miracles. The wait's begun again, The long wait for the angel, For that rare, random descent.
Sylvia Plath
because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.
Sylvia Plath
I must not be selfless: develop a sense of self. A solidness that can't be attacked.
Sylvia Plath
The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.
Sylvia Plath
I need the reality of other people, work, to fulfill myself. Must never become a mere mother and housewife.
Sylvia Plath
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
I was my own woman. The next step was to find the proper sort of man.
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all.
Sylvia Plath
