More quotes by Sylvia Plath
What did my arms do before they held you?
Sylvia Plath
I said: I must remember this, being small.
Sylvia Plath
It never occurred to me to say no.
Sylvia Plath
I knew you'd decide to be all right again.
Sylvia Plath
Clouds pass and disperse. Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables? Is it for such I agitate my heart?
Sylvia Plath
And I identify too closely with my reading, with my writing.
Sylvia Plath
The moon, too, abases her subjects, but in the daytime she is ridiculous. Your dissatisfactions, on the other hand, arrive through the mailslot with loving regularity, white and blank, expansive as carbon monoxide. No day is safe from news of you, walking about in Africa maybe, but thinking of me.
Sylvia Plath
I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.
Sylvia Plath
I could never be a complete scholar or a complete housewife ora completewriter: Imustcombinea little of all, and thereby be imperfect in all.
Sylvia Plath
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
..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
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
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
Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
Sylvia Plath
We know a thing by its opposite corollary hot by having experienced cold good by having decided what is bad love by hate.
Sylvia Plath
Is anyone anywhere happy?
Sylvia Plath
I have taken a pill to kill The thin Papery feeling.
Sylvia Plath
I like people too much or not at all.
Sylvia Plath
I would say everything should be able to come into a poem, but I can't put toothbrushes into a poem, I really can't!
Sylvia Plath
What is so real as the cry of a child?
Sylvia Plath
