You cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
Then I decided I would spend the summer writing a novel. That would fix a lot of people.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I've eaten a bag of Green apples. Boarded the train, there's no getting off

Sylvia Plath
Image
See, the darkness is leaking from the cracks. I cannot contain it. I cannot contain my life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The woman is perfected. Her dead Body wears the smile of accomplishment.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. 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
I deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I'm about fifty years behind as far as my preferences go and I must say that the poets who excite me most are the Americans. There are very few contemporary English poets that I admire.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
That’s one of the reasons I never wanted to get married. The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. 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
Image
Jealousy can open the blood, it can make black roses.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Dancing is the normal prelude to intercourse.
