Image
I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I could feel the winter shaking my bones and banging my teeth together.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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.

Image
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
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.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have taken a pill to kill The thin Papery feeling.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need not to be more with others, but to be more & more deeply, richly alone. Recreating worlds.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I feel terribly vulnerable and 'not-myself' when I'm not writing.
Sylvia Plath
Image
There was a beautiful time.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And there's the fallacy of existence: the idea that one could be happy forever and age with a given situation or series of accomplishments.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far, so fast, in such a small space, that you've got to burn away all the peripherals.
Sylvia Plath
Image
...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
Image
I started adding up all the things I couldn't do.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks.
