More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I am myself. That is not enough.
Sylvia Plath
Then I thought, No, I broke it myself. I broke it on purpose to pay myself back for being such a heel.
Sylvia Plath
The slime of all my yesterdays rots in the hollow of my skull.
Sylvia Plath
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
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
Sylvia Plath
I had hoped, at my departure, I would feel sure and knowledgeable about everything that lay ahead -- after all, I had been analyzed. Instead, all I could see were question marks.
Sylvia Plath
To learn and think to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
I know the bottom, she says. I know it with my great tap root: It is what you fear. I do not fear it: I have been there.
Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am tonight.
Sylvia Plath
I wish you’d find the exit out of my head.
Sylvia Plath
After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
Sylvia Plath
I like you, but not too much. I don’t want to like anybody too much.
Sylvia Plath
I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.
Sylvia Plath
Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.
Sylvia Plath
As a poet I would say everything should be able to come into a poem but I can't put toothbrushes in a poem. I really can't.
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 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
What is so real as the cry of a child?
Sylvia Plath
I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.
Sylvia Plath
