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.

More quotes by Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
Sylvia Plath
I am what I feel and think and do.
Sylvia Plath
A million years of evolution, Eric said bitterly, and what are we? Animals.
Sylvia Plath
August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.
Sylvia Plath
I am dead to them, even though I once flowered.
Sylvia Plath
I started adding up all the things I couldn't do.
Sylvia Plath
..I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.) I should have loved a thunderbird instead At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. (I think I made you up inside my head.)
Sylvia Plath
Aloneness and selfness are too important to betray for company.
Sylvia Plath
I keep wanting to crawl back into the womb.
Sylvia Plath
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.
Sylvia Plath
The only reason I remembered this play was because it had a mad person in it, and everything I had ever read about mad people stuck in my mind, while everything else flew out.
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.
Sylvia Plath
O heart, such disorganization!
Sylvia Plath
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
They would grow old. They would forget me.
Sylvia Plath
So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state.
Sylvia Plath
And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.
Sylvia Plath
The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.
Sylvia Plath
I am I-I am powerful, but to what extent? I am I.
Sylvia Plath
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.
Sylvia Plath
