Not being perfect hurts.
Sylvia Plath

Nothing is real except the present, and already, I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she is dead. I am the present, but I know I, too, will pass. The high moment, the burning flash, come and are gone, continuous quicksand. And I don’t want to die.

We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
Sylvia Plath

And there's the fallacy of existence: the idea that one could be happy forever and age with a given situation or series of accomplishments.
Sylvia Plath
Image
A skeptic, I would ask for consistency first of all.
Sylvia Plath
Image
With that strange knowing that comes over me, like a clairvoyance, I know that I am sure of myself and my enormous and alarmingly timeless love for you which will always be.
Sylvia Plath

I like people too much or not at all.

Joy:show joy & enjoy: then others will be joyful.

The trouble was, I had been inadequate all along, I simply hadn't thought about it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I tried to speak in a cool, calm way, but the zombie rose up in my throat and choked me off.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.

Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
