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.
Sylvia Plath

If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.
Sylvia Plath
Image

I deserve that, don't I, some sort of blazing love that I can live with.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.

Sylvia Plath
Image
You are the one. Solid the spaces lean on, envious. You are the baby in the barn.
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

Sylvia Plath

I wish you’d find the exit out of my head.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I'm about fifty years behind as far as my preferences go and I must say that the poets who excite me most are the Americans. There are very few contemporary English poets that I admire.
Sylvia Plath
Image
I need not to be more with others, but to be more & more deeply, richly alone. Recreating worlds.
Sylvia Plath
Image
Every day is precious and I feel infinitely sad at this time melting away from me.
Sylvia Plath
Image
The hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted & spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.
Sylvia Plath
Image
... stop trying to get me to write about 'decent courageous people' -- read the Ladies' Home Journal for those! ... I believe in going through and facing the worst, not hiding from it.
