I buried my head under the da...

I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I had nothing to look forward to.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I do not want a plain box, I ...

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus
With tigery stripes, and a face on it
Round as the moon, to stare up.
I want to be looking at them when they come
Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots.
I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces.
Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.
I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.
They will wonder if I was important.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I believe that one should be ...

I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences, even the most terrific, like madness, being tortured, this sort of experience, and one should be able to manipulate these experiences with an informed and an intelligent mini.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I've got to have something. I...

I've got to have something. I want to stop it all, the whole monumental grotesque joke, before it's too late. But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

From the night Buddy Willard ...

From the night Buddy Willard kissed me and said I must go out with a lot of boys, he made me feel I was much more sexy and experienced than he was and that everything he did like hugging and kissing and petting was simply what I made him feel like doing out of the blue, he couldn’t help it and didn’t know how it came about. Now I saw he had only been pretending all this time to be so innocent.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I feel that very strongly: ha...

I feel that very strongly: having been an academic, having been tempted by the invitation to stay on to become a Ph.D., a professor, and all that, one side of me certainly does respect all disciplines, as long as they don't ossify.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Beached under the spumy bloom...

Beached under the spumy blooms, we lie Sea-sick and fever-dry.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I thought the most beautiful ...

I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

But when it came right down t...

But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defensless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Now I know what loneliness is...

Now I know what loneliness is, I think. Momentary loneliness, anyway. It comes from a vague core of the self - - like a disease of the blood, dispersed throughout the body so that one cannot locate the matrix, the spot of contagion.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

All the heat and fear had pur...

All the heat and fear had purged itself. I felt surprisingly at peace. The bell jar hung suspended a few feet above my head. I was open to the circulating air.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I wondered why I couldn't go ...

I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I should any more. This made me sad and tired. Then I wondered why I couldn't go the whole way doing what I shouldn't, the way Doreen did, and this made me even sadder and more tired.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

To the person in the bell jar...

To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Is it the sea you hear in me?...

Is it the sea you hear in me? Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was your madness? Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

In a rabbit-fear I may hurl m...

In a rabbit-fear I may hurl myself under the wheels of the car because the lights terrify me, and under the dark blind death of wheels I will be safe. I am very tired, very banal, very confused. I do not know who I am tonight. I wanted to walk until I dropped and not complete the inevitable circle of coming home.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Nothing stinks like a pile of...

Nothing stinks like a pile of unpublished writing, which remark I guess shows I still don't have a pure motive (O it's-such-fun-I-just-can't-stop-who-cares-if-it's-published-or-read) about writing.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

This is the light of the mind...

This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary. The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Let me sit in a flowerpot, The spiders won't notice. My heart is a stopped geranium.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

If there's anything I look do...

If there's anything I look down on, it's a man in a blue outfit.
