More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state.
Sylvia Plath
I have the one person I could ever love in this world. Now I must work to be a person worthy of that.
Sylvia Plath
I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.
Sylvia Plath
I must not be selfless: develop a sense of self. A solidness that can't be attacked.
Sylvia Plath
Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning.
Sylvia Plath
I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrific, like madness, being tortured, this sort of experience, and one should be able to manipulate these experiences with an informed and an intelligent mini.
Sylvia Plath
I used to pray to recover you.
Sylvia Plath
I am still so naïve I know pretty much what I like and dislike but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?
Sylvia Plath
I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet.
Sylvia Plath
If only a group of people were more important to me than the idea of a Novel, I might begin a novel.
Sylvia Plath
Is there no way out of the mind?
Sylvia Plath
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
I talk to God but the sky is empty.
Sylvia Plath
I never feel so much myself as when I'm in a hot bath.
Sylvia Plath
The slime of all my yesterdays rots in the hollow of my skull.
Sylvia Plath
Winning or losing an argument, receiving an acceptance or rejection, is no proof of the validity or value of personal identity. One may be wrong, mistaken, or a poor craftsman, or just ignorant - but this is no indication of the true worth of one's total human identity: past, present and future!
Sylvia Plath
God, how I ricochet between certainties and doubts.
Sylvia Plath
I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.
Sylvia Plath
I need not to be more with others, but to be more & more deeply, richly alone. Recreating worlds.
Sylvia Plath
