More quotes by Sylvia Plath
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.
Sylvia Plath
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
Sylvia Plath
I used to pray to recover you.
Sylvia Plath
I felt dumb and subdued. Every time I tried to concentrate, my mind glided off, like a skater, into a large empty space, and pirouetted there, absently.
Sylvia Plath
because wherever I sat—on the deck of a ship or at a street café in Paris or Bangkok—I would be sitting under the same glass bell jar, stewing in my own sour air.
Sylvia Plath
There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings.
Sylvia Plath
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks.
Sylvia Plath
Doing all the little tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious and unsettling world.
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 am but one more drop in the great sea of matter, defined, with the ability to realize my existence.
Sylvia Plath
I have stitched life into me like a rare organ
Sylvia Plath
It never occurred to me to say no.
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
Sylvia Plath
I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
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
So learn about life. Cut yourself a big slice with the silver server, a big slice of pie. Open your eyes. Let life happen.
Sylvia Plath
Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
Sylvia Plath
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space, that you've got to burn away all the peripherals.
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
Outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness. I look down into the warm, earthy world. Into a nest of lovers' beds, baby cribs, meal tables, all the solid commerce of life in this earth, and feel apart, enclosed in a wall of glass.
