Sylvia Plath Quotes

I’m sarcastic, skeptical, and sometimes callous because I’m still afraid, deep down, of letting myself be hurt Picture Quote #1

I felt as if I were sitting in the window of an enormous department store. The figures around me weren’t people, but shop dummies, painted to resemble people and propped up in attitudes counterfeiting life Picture Quote #1

I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted to lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty. How free it is, you have no idea how free Picture Quote #1

Why am I obsessed with the idea I can justify myself by getting manuscripts published? Is it an escape-an excuse for any social failure-so I can say No, I don’t go out for many extracurricular activities, but I spend a lot of time writing Picture Quote #1

It is best to meet in a cul-de-sac, A palace of velvet With windows of mirrors. There one is safe, There are no family photographs, No rings through the nose, no cries Picture Quote #1

Ever since I was small I loved feeling somebody comb my hair. It made me go all sleepy and peaceful Picture Quote #1

My dream was one day ordering a drink and finding out it tasted wonderful Picture Quote #1

This is my first snow at Smith. It is like any other snow, but from a different window, and there lies the singular charm of it Picture Quote #1

I want to kill myself, to escape from responsiblity, to crawl abjectly back into the womb Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to Picture Quote #1

That is salvation. To give of love inside. To keep love of life, no matter what, and give to others. Generously Picture Quote #1

Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You’ve got to go so far so fast in such a small space; you’ve got to burn away all the peripherals Picture Quote #1

In the German tongue, in the Polish townScraped flat by the rollerOf wars, wars, wars Picture Quote #1

I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. At times like this I’d call myself a fool to ask for more Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My thoughts are crabbed and sallow, My tears like vinegar, Or the bitter blinking yellow Of an acetic star. Tonight the caustic wind, love, Gossips late and soon, And I wear the wry-faced pucker of The sour lemon moon. While like an early summer plum, Puny, green, and tart, Droops upon its wizened stem My lean, unripened heart Picture Quote #1

I talk to God but the sky is empty Picture Quote #1

The blood jet is poetry and there is no stopping it Picture Quote #1

For me, poetry is an evasion of the real job of writing prose Picture Quote #1

The abstract kills, the concrete saves Picture Quote #1

I desire the things which will destroy me in the end Picture Quote #1

The claw of the magnolia, drunk on its own scents, asks nothing of life Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Please, I want so badly for the good things to happen Picture Quote #1

Do we always grind through the present, doomed to throw a gold haze of fond retrospect over the past? Picture Quote #1

Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? Picture Quote #1

There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends Picture Quote #1

Out of the ash I rise with my red hair and I eat men like air Picture Quote #1

So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough Picture Quote #1
