I must get my soul back from you I am killing my flesh without it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I like people too much or not at all.
Sylvia Plath

Hour by hour, day by day, life becomes possible.
Sylvia Plath
Image
What I want back is what I was Before the bed, before the knife, Before the brooch-pin and the salve Fixed me in this parenthesis Horses fluent in the wind, A place, a time gone out of mind.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I've eaten a bag of Green apples. Boarded the train, there's no getting off
Sylvia Plath

After all, we are nothing more or less than we choose to reveal.
Sylvia Plath

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, This is what it is to be happy.
