Sunday-the doctor's paradise! Doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.

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
Then I decided I would spend the summer writing a novel. That would fix a lot of people.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have.
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 hate myself for not being able to go downstairs naturally and seek comfort in numbers. I hate myself for having to sit here and be torn between I know not what within me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.
Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
Image
There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am not cruel, only truthful.
Sylvia Plath
Image
What I cannot forgive is dishonesty - and no matter what, or how hard, I would rather know the truth of which I today had such a clear & devastating vision from his mouth than hear foul evasions, blurrings and rattiness.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have, but I must say I cannot sympathise with these cries from the heart that are informed by nothing except a needle or a knife, or whatever it is.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If only I knew what I wanted I could try to see about getting it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
…beating time along the edge of thought.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.
Sylvia Plath
