More quotes by 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
Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.
Sylvia Plath
...we shall board our imagined ship and wildly sail among sacred islands of the mad till death shatters the fabulous stars and makes us real.
Sylvia Plath
we walk the plank with strangers.
Sylvia Plath
I am so hungry for a big smashing creative burgeoning burdened love.
Sylvia Plath
Not being perfect hurts.
Sylvia Plath
Piece by piece, I fed my wardrobe to the night wind, and flutteringly, like a loved one’s ashes, the gray scraps were ferried off, to settle here, there, exactly where I would never know, in the dark heart of New York.
Sylvia Plath
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
I have taken a pill to kill The thin Papery feeling.
Sylvia Plath
The thought that I might kill myself formed in my mind coolly as a tree or a flower.
Sylvia Plath
I wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost...but won't. It is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. I want someone to mouth me.
Sylvia Plath
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
Sylvia Plath
If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.
Sylvia Plath
What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.
Sylvia Plath
What I hate is the thought of being under a man's thumb, I had told Doctor Nolan. A man doesn't have a worry in the world, while I've got a baby hanging over my head like a big stick, to keep me in line.
Sylvia Plath
Perhaps you considered yourself an oracle, Mouthpiece of the dead, or of some god or other. Thirty years now I have labored To dredge the silt from your throat. I am none the wiser.
Sylvia Plath
I'm happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one.
Sylvia Plath
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 deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
Sylvia Plath
