Some pale, hueless flicker of sensitivity is in me. God, must I lose it in cooking scrambled eggs for a man.
Sylvia Plath
Image
You are a dream I hope I never meet you.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.
Sylvia Plath

I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?

We should meet in another life, we should meet in air, me and you.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
There is a certain unique and strange delight about walking down an empty street alone.

Sylvia Plath
Image
It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not fear it: I have been there.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need not to be more with others, but to be more & more deeply, richly alone. Recreating worlds.
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.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.
