Image
My worst habit is my fear & my destructive rationalizing.
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
What did my arms do before they held you?
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
Sylvia Plath

I didn't really see why people should look at me. Plenty of people looked queerer than I did.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I am accused. I dream of massacres. I am a garden of black and red agonies. I drink them, Hating myself, hating and fearing. And now the world conceives Its end and runs toward it, arms held out in love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If I rest, if I think inward, I go mad.
Sylvia Plath
Image

Sylvia Plath
Image
Character is fate.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Love, love, I have hung our cave with roses.
Sylvia Plath
Image
For the few little successes I may seem to have, there are acres of misgivings and self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?
Sylvia Plath
Image
Now I am silent, hate Up to my neck, Thick, thick. I do not speak.
Sylvia Plath
Image
As a poet I would say everything should be able to come into a poem but I can't put toothbrushes in a poem. I really can't.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks or a champion college footballer suddenly confronted by Wall Street and a business suit, his days of glory shrunk to a little gold cup on his mantel with a date engraved on it like the date on a tombstone.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.
