More quotes by Sylvia Plath
We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
Sylvia Plath
I am made, crudely, for success.
Sylvia Plath
I find that in a novel I can get more of life, perhaps not such intense life, but certainly more of life than in poetry.
Sylvia Plath
I don't know what started me, I just wrote poetry from the time was quite small. I guess I liked nursery rhymes and I guess I thought I could do the same thing. I wrote my first poem, my first published poem, when I was eight-and-a-half years old. It came out in The Boston Traveller and from then on, I suppose, I've been a bit of a professional.
Sylvia Plath
The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
Sylvia Plath
I may have made a straight A in physics, but I was panic-struck. Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it.
Sylvia Plath
Clouds pass and disperse. Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables? Is it for such I agitate my heart?
Sylvia Plath
It is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.
Sylvia Plath
What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
Sylvia Plath
I wish you’d find the exit out of my head.
Sylvia Plath
I could never be a complete scholar or a complete housewife ora completewriter: Imustcombinea little of all, and thereby be imperfect in all.
Sylvia Plath
Miracles occur, If you dare to call those spasmodic Tricks of radiance miracles. The wait's begun again, The long wait for the angel, For that rare, random descent.
Sylvia Plath
…beating time along the edge of thought.
Sylvia Plath
I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrifying, like madness, being tortured...with an informed and intelligent mind.
Sylvia Plath
I'm happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one.
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
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
Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted.
Sylvia Plath
I am I-I am powerful, but to what extent? I am I.
Sylvia Plath
I have this demon who wants me to run away screaming if I am going to be flawed, fallible. It wants me to think I'm so good I must be perfect. Or nothing. I am, on the contrary, something: a being who gets tired, has shyness to fight, has more trouble than most facing people easily.
