Quote

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.

So I kiss him, and there is the great dark sea ahead.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I, to you, am lost in the gorgeous errors of flesh.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And if you have no past or future which, after all, is all that the present is made of, why then you may as well dispose of the empty shell of present and commit suicide.
Sylvia Plath
Image
If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll halt the clock That syncopates our love.
Sylvia Plath
Image
But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The blood of love welled up in my heart with a slow pain.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to kill myself, to escape from responsiblity, to crawl abjectly back into the womb.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Slowly, slowly, catch the monkey.
Sylvia Plath
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
God, if ever I have come close to wanting to commit suicide, it is now, with the groggy sleepless blood dragging through my veins, and the air thick and gray with rain ... I fell into bed again this morning, begging for sleep, withdrawing into the dark, warm, fetid escape from action, from responsibility. No good.
Sylvia Plath
Image
For the few little successes I may seem to have, there are acres of misgivings and self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Dancing is the normal prelude to intercourse.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I have been holding a dialogue with myself and girding myself to stand fast without running.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Joy:show joy & enjoy: then others will be joyful.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I'm happier writing about doctors than I would have been being one.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt very low. I had been unmasked only that morning by Jay Cee herself, and I felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions I had about myself were coming true. After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of race.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I've got to have something. I want to stop it all, the whole monumental grotesque joke, before it's too late. But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I opened the door and blinked out into the bright hall. I had the impression it wasn't night and it wasn't day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Winter is for women The woman still at her knitting, At the cradle of Spanish walnut, Her body a bulb in the cold and too dumb to think.
