What is my life for and what am I going to do with it? I don't know and I'm afraid.
Sylvia Plath
Image
One thing, I try to be honest. And what is revealed is often rather hideously unflattering.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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.

we walk the plank with strangers.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I think I may well be a Jew.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Don't let the wicked city get you down.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Tomorrow is another day toward death.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Is anyone anywhere happy?
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 dream too much, work too little.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.
