I am I-I am powerful, but to what extent? I am I.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces.

It's the living, the eating, the sleeping that everyone needs. Ideas don't matter so much after all. My three best friends are Catholic. I can't see their beliefs, but I can see the things they love to do on earth. When you come right down to it, I do believe in the freedom of the individual.

I like you, but not too much. I don’t want to like anybody too much.

Sylvia Plath
Image
If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.
Sylvia Plath

I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.
Sylvia Plath
Image
One thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt wise and cynical as all hell.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Tomorrow is another day toward death.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I knew chemistry would be worse, because I'd seen a big card of the ninety-odd elements hung up in the chemistry lab, and all the perfectly good words like gold and silver and cobalt and aluminum were shortened to ugly abbreviations with different decimal numbers after them.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have never found anybody who could stand to accept the daily demonstrative love I feel in me, and give back as good as I give.
Sylvia Plath
Image
For the few little successes I may seem to have, there are acres of misgivings and self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
... stop trying to get me to write about 'decent courageous people' -- read the Ladies' Home Journal for those! ... I believe in going through and facing the worst, not hiding from it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
