Image
And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness
Sylvia Plath
Image
If I have a dry spell ... I wait and live harder, eyes, ears, and heart open, and when the productive time comes, it is that much richer.
Sylvia Plath
Image
It is so much safer not to feel, not to let the world touch me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.
Sylvia Plath
Image
And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I felt the mask crumple, the great poisonous store of corrosive ashes begin to spew out of my mouth.
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
Is there no way out of the mind?
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.
Sylvia Plath
Image

Sylvia Plath
Image
You cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The silence drew off, baring the pebbles and shells and all the tatty wreckage of my life.
Sylvia Plath
Image
With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand... hopeless from the start.
Sylvia Plath
Image
For the few little successes I may seem to have, there are acres of misgivings and self-doubt.
Sylvia Plath
Image
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
Image
I felt like a racehorse in a world without racetracks.
Sylvia Plath
Image
My life is a discipline, a prison: I live for my own work, without which I am nothing.
Sylvia Plath
