More quotes by Sylvia Plath
Nothing is real except the present, and already, I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she is dead. I am the present, but I know I, too, will pass. The high moment, the burning flash, come and are gone, continuous quicksand. And I don’t want to die.
Sylvia Plath
I like people, but to learn about one individual always appeals to me more than anything.
Sylvia Plath
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
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
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
We stayed at home to write, to consolidate our outstretched selves.
Sylvia Plath
I get into a rut, unable to yank my mind out of it.
Sylvia Plath
If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.
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
If only a group of people were more important to me than the idea of a Novel, I might begin a novel.
Sylvia Plath
I know the bottom, she says. I know it with my great tap root: It is what you fear. I do not fear it: I have been there.
Sylvia Plath
I love life. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.
Sylvia Plath
If there's anything I look down on, it's a man in a blue outfit.
Sylvia Plath
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
For me, poetry is an evasion of the real job of writing prose.
Sylvia Plath
Love set you going like a fat gold watch. The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry Took its place among the elements.
Sylvia Plath
I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
You cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time.
Sylvia Plath
I tried to speak in a cool, calm way, but the zombie rose up in my throat and choked me off.
Sylvia Plath
