Believe in some beneficent force beyond your own limited self. God, god, god: where are you? I want you, need you: the belief in you and love and mankind.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I see in Cambridge, particula...

I see in Cambridge, particularly among the women dons, a series of such grotesques! It is almost like a caricature series from Dickens to see our head table at Newnham.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I pass by people, grazing the...

I pass by people, grazing them on the edges, and it bothers me. I've got to admire someone to really like them deeply - to value them as friends.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

There is something suspect, especially in America, about people who don't have ten-year plans for a career or at least a regular job.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I think that personal experie...

I think that personal experience is very important, but certainly it shouldn't be a kind of shut-box and mirror-looking, narcissistic experience. I believe it should be relevant, and relevant to the larger things, the bigger things, such as Hiroshima and Dachau and so on.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Today is the first of August....

Today is the first of August. It is hot, steamy and wet. It is raining. I am tempted to write a poem. But I remember what it said on one rejection slip: 'After a heavy rainfall, poems titled 'Rain' pour in from across the nation.'

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I must discipline myself. I m...

I must discipline myself. I must be imaginative and create plots, knit motives, probe dialogue - rather than merely trying to record descriptions and sensations. The latter is pointless, without purpose, unless it is later to be synthesized into a story. The latter is also a rather pronounced symptom of an oversensitive and unproductive ego.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Perhaps when we find ourselve...

Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Wear your heart on your skin ...

Wear your heart on your skin in this life.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I took a deep breath and list...

I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

When I was learning to creep,...

When I was learning to creep, my mother set me down on the beach to see what I thought of it. I crawled straight for the coming wave and was just through the wall of green when she caught my heels.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Now and then, when I grow nos...

Now and then, when I grow nostalgic about my ocean childhood - the wauling of gulls and the smell of salt, somebody solicitous will bundle me into a car and drive me to the nearest briny horizon.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannic...

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.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

My childhood landscape was no...

My childhood landscape was not land but the end of the land - the cold, salt, running hills of the Atlantic. I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I felt proud that the baby's ...

I felt proud that the baby's first real adventure should be as a protest against the insanity of world annihilation. Already a certain percentage of unborn children are doomed by fallout, and no one knows the cumulative effects of what is already poisoning the air and sea.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

If you expect nothing from an...

If you expect nothing from anybody, you're never disappointed.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

A baby! I hated babies. I, wh...

A baby! I hated babies. I, who for two and a half years had been the center of a tender universe, felt the axis wrench and a polar chill immobilize my bones. I would be a bystander, a museum mammoth.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

For a time, I believed not in...

For a time, I believed not in God nor Santa Claus, but in mermaids. They seemed as logical and possible to me as the brittle twig of a seahorse in the zoo aquarium or the skates lugged up on the lines of cursing Sunday fishermen - skates the shape of old pillowslips with the full, coy lips of women.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I shut my eyes and all the wo...

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

It is as if my life were magi...

It is as if my life were magically run by two electric currents: joyous positive and despairing negative - whichever is running at the moment dominates my life, floods it.
