Image
Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of New York, for near unto an hour, and I felt myself growing pure again. I don't believe in baptism or the waters of Jordan or anything like that, but I guess I feel about a hot bath the way those religious people feel about holy water.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
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
Image
Sunday-the doctor's paradise! Doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Frustrated? Yes. Why? Because it is impossible for me to be God — or the universal woman-and-man — or anything much. I am what I feel and think and do. I want to express my being as fully as I can because I somewhere picked up the idea that I could justify my being alive that way.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone. There is an off-focus light cast by the moon, and the streetlights are part of the spotlight apparatus on a bare stage set up for you to walk through. You get a feeling of being listened to, so you talk aloud, softly, to see how it sounds.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am so hungry for a big smashing creative burgeoning burdened love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I was my own woman. The next step was to find the proper sort of man.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The only thing I could think of was turkey neck and turkey gizzards and I felt very depressed.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I must not be selfless: develop a sense of self. A solidness that can't be attacked.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I've eaten a bag of Green apples. Boarded the train, there's no getting off
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am made, crudely, for success.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
Tomorrow I will curse the dawn, but there will be other, earlier nights, and the dawns will be no longer hell laid out in alarms and raw bells and sirens.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Good to know that if I ever need attention all I have to do is die.
Sylvia Plath
