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

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

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

Wear your heart on your skin ...

Wear your heart on your skin in this life.

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

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

There must be quite a few thi...

There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

But life is long. And it is t...

But life is long. And it is the long run that balances the short flare of interest and passion.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Dying is an art, like everyth...

Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Mother believed that I should...

Mother believed that I should have an enormous amount of sleep, and so I was never really tired when I went to bed. This was the best time of day, when I could lie in the vague twilight, drifting off to sleep, making up dreams inside my head the way they should go.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I think my poems immediately ...

I think my poems immediately come out of the sensuous and emotional experiences I have.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Kiss me and you will see how ...

Kiss me and you will see how important I am.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I looked on my stomach and sa...

I looked on my stomach and saw Frieda Rebecca, white as flour with the cream that covers new babies, funny little dark squiggles of hair plastered over her head, with big, dark-blue eyes.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

One should be able to control...

One should be able to control and manipulate experiences with an informed and intelligent mind.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I want to live and feel all t...

I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

And by the way, everything in...

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

If I have not the power to pu...

If I have not the power to put myself in the place of other people, but must be continually burrowing inward, I shall never be the magnanimous creative person I wish to be. Yet I am hypnotized by the workings of the individual, alone, and am continually using myself as a specimen.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

When you are insane, you are ...

When you are insane, you are busy being insane - all the time.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

If neurotic is wanting two mu...

If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

The sea was our main entertai...

The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water - blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be - were enough to watch.
