More quotes by Sylvia Plath
But I am I now and so many other millions are so irretrievably their own special variety of 'I' that I can hardly bear to think of it. I: how firm a letter how reassuring the three strokes: one vertical, proud and assertive, and then the two short horizontal lines in quick, smug succession. The pen scratching on the paper…I…I…I…I…I…I.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo.
Sylvia Plath
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defensless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get.
Sylvia Plath
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath
Dying Is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.
Sylvia Plath
I never feel so much myself as when I'm in a hot bath.
Sylvia Plath
I have let things slip, a thirty-year~old cargo boat Stubbornly hanging on to my name and address.
Sylvia Plath
I am I-I am powerful, but to what extent? I am I.
Sylvia Plath
Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted.
Sylvia Plath
See, the darkness is leaking from the cracks. I cannot contain it. I cannot contain my life.
Sylvia Plath
