More quotes by Sylvia Plath
They had to call and call And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.
Sylvia Plath
I felt very low. I had been unmasked only that morning by Jay Cee herself, and I felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions I had about myself were coming true. After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of race.
Sylvia Plath
I could never be a complete scholar or a complete housewife ora completewriter: Imustcombinea little of all, and thereby be imperfect in all.
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 felt wise and cynical as all hell.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
Sylvia Plath
Now I am silent, hate Up to my neck, Thick, thick. I do not speak.
Sylvia Plath
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space, that you've got to burn away all the peripherals.
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
So I kiss him, and there is the great dark sea ahead.
Sylvia Plath
I felt the first man I slept with must be intelligent, so I could respect him.
Sylvia Plath
I didn't really see why people should look at me. Plenty of people looked queerer than I did.
Sylvia Plath
This seemed a dreary and wasted life for a girl with fifteen years of straight A's, but I knew that's what marriage was like, because cook and clean and wash was just what Buddy Willard's mother did from morning till night, and she was the wife of a university professor and had been a private school teacher herself.
Sylvia Plath
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
You are a dream I hope I never meet you.
Sylvia Plath
I do not know who I am tonight.
Sylvia Plath
