More quotes by Sylvia Plath
Although, I admit, I desire, Occasionally, some backtalk From the mute sky, I can't honestly complain: A certain minor light may still Lean incandescent Out of kitchen table or chair As if a celestial burning took Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then --
Sylvia Plath
Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning.
Sylvia Plath
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
You have to be able to make a real creative life for Yourself, before you can expect anyone Else to provide one ready-made for you.

Is there no way out of the mind?
Sylvia Plath
I had always imagined myself hitching up on to my elbows on the delivery table after it was all over - dead white, of course, with no makeup and from the awful ordeal, but smiling and radiant, with my hair down to my waist, and reaching out for my first little squirmy child and saying its name, whatever it was.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
You walked in, laughing, tears welling confused, mingling in your throat. How can you be so many women to so many people, oh you strange girl?
Sylvia Plath
I can't think logically about who I am or where I am going. I have been very ecstatic, horribly depressed, shocked, elated, enlightened, and enervated.
Sylvia Plath
To learn and think to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm
Sylvia Plath
...we shall board our imagined ship and wildly sail among sacred islands of the mad till death shatters the fabulous stars and makes us real.
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 wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.
Sylvia Plath
I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet.
Sylvia Plath
I like people, but to learn about one individual always appeals to me more than anything.
Sylvia Plath
The only reason I remembered this play was because it had a mad person in it, and everything I had ever read about mad people stuck in my mind, while everything else flew out.
Sylvia Plath
There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.
Sylvia Plath
A million years of evolution, Eric said bitterly, and what are we? Animals.
Sylvia Plath
The box is only temporary.
