More quotes by Sylvia Plath

Image
And I am aware of my heart: it opens and closes Its bowl of red blooms out of sheer love of me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
To learn and think to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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.
Sylvia Plath
Image
A fierce brief fusion which dreamers call real, and realists, an illusion an insight like the flight of birds.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Sometimes I nursed starfish alive in jam jars of seawater and watched them grow back lost arms. On this day, this awful birthday of otherness, my rival, somebody else, I flung the starfish against a stone. Let it perish.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Sometimes I feel so stupid and dull and uncreative that I am amazed when people tell me differently.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I think the coming of spring, the stars overhead, the first snowfall and so on are gifts for a child, a young poet.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Piece by piece, I fed my wardrobe to the night wind, and flutteringly, like a loved one’s ashes, the gray scraps were ferried off, to settle here, there, exactly where I would never know, in the dark heart of New York.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is a feeling that no matter what the ideas or conduct of others, there is a unique rightness and beauty to life which can be shared in openness, in wind and sunlight, with a fellow human being who believes in the same basic principles.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
You are the one. Solid the spaces lean on, envious. You are the baby in the barn.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Pretty soon, the only doubt in my mind was the precise time and method of committing suicide. The only alternative I could see was an eternity of hell for the rest of my life in a mental hospital, and I was going to use my last ounce of free choice and choose a quick clean ending.
Sylvia Plath
Image
At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I find that in a novel I can get more of life, perhaps not such intense life, but certainly more of life than in poetry.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not fear it: I have been there.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I collected men with interesting names. I already knew a Socrates. He was tall and ugly and intellectual and the son of some big Greek movie producer in Hollywood, but also a Catholic, which ruined it for both of us.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like you, but not too much. I don’t want to like anybody too much.
Sylvia Plath
