More quotes by Sylvia Plath

Image
I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.
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
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt the mask crumple, the great poisonous store of corrosive ashes begin to spew out of my mouth.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I must say that I am not very genteel and I feel that gentility has a stranglehold: the neatness, the wonderful tidiness, which is so evident everywhere in England is perhaps more dangerous than it would appear on the surface.
Sylvia Plath
Image
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
In this particular tub, two knees jut up like icebergs, while minute brown hairs rise on arms and legs in a fringe of kelp green soap navigates the tidal slosh of seas breaking on legendary beaches in faith we shall board our imagined ship and wildly sail among sacred islands of the mad till death shatters the fabulous stars and makes us real.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And I identify too closely with my reading, with my writing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Tomorrow is another day toward death.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I said: I must remember this, being small.
Sylvia Plath
Image
To annihilate the world by annihilation of oneself is the deluded height of desperate egoism.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like the date on a tombstone.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
As from a star I saw, coldly and soberly, the separateness of everything. I felt the wall of my skin I am I. That stone is a stone. My beautiful fusion with the things of this world was over.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have been holding a dialogue with myself and girding myself to stand fast without running.
Sylvia Plath
