If I have a dry spell ... I wait and live harder, eyes, ears, and heart open, and when the productive time comes, it is that much richer.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The claw of the magnolia, drunk on its own scents, asks nothing of life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
A skeptic, I would ask for consistency first of all.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual.
Sylvia Plath
Image
What I cannot forgive is dishonesty - and no matter what, or how hard, I would rather know the truth of which I today had such a clear & devastating vision from his mouth than hear foul evasions, blurrings and rattiness.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
When they asked me what I wanted to be I said I didn't know.
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

Sylvia Plath
Image
My life is a discipline, a prison: I live for my own work, without which I am nothing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind snow, should numb and cover them. But they were a part of me. They were my landscape.
Sylvia Plath
Image
So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath
Image
In spite of everything, I still have my good old sense of humor.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Don't let the wicked city get you down.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want, I think, to be omniscient. I think I would like to call myself the girl who wanted to be God. Yet if I were not in this body where would I be-perhaps I am destined to be classified and qualified. But, oh, I cry out against it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The moon has nothing to be sad about, Staring from her hood of bone. She is used to this sort of thing. Her blacks crackle and drag.
