Image
It was sometime in October she had long ago lost track of all the days and it really didn’t matter because one was like another and there were no nights to separate them because she never slept any more.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have no preconceptions. Whatever I see, I swallow immediately. Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike. I am not cruel, only truthful.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
Sylvia Plath

I have taken a pill to kill The thin Papery feeling.
Sylvia Plath
Image
When you give someone your whole heart and he doesn't want it, you cannot take it back. It's gone forever.
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
A fierce brief fusion which dreamers call real, and realists, an illusion an insight like the flight of birds.
Sylvia Plath
Image
You are a dream I hope I never meet you.
Sylvia Plath
Image
She stared at her reflection in the glossed shop windows as if to make sure, moment by moment, that she continued to exist.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am so hungry for a big smashing creative burgeoning burdened love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Is anyone anywhere happy?
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like people, but to learn about one individual always appeals to me more than anything.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am too pure for you or anyone.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There was a beautiful time.
