Sometimes I feel so stupid an...

Sometimes I feel so stupid and dull and uncreative that I am amazed when people tell me differently.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I'm about fifty years behind ...

I'm about fifty years behind as far as my preferences go and I must say that the poets who excite me most are the Americans. There are very few contemporary English poets that I admire.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I dreamed that you bewitched ...

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

And the danger is that in this move toward new horizons and far directions, that I may lose what I have now, and not find anything except loneliness

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas, as if whatever it was the pine boughs and the candles and the silver and gilt-ribboned presents and the birch-log fires and the Christmas turkey and the carols at the piano promised never came to pass.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I feel, am mad as any writer ...

I feel, am mad as any writer must in one way be; why not make it real? I am too close to the bourgeois society of suburbia: too close to people I know I must sever my self from them, or be a part of their world: this half and half compromise is intolerable.

If the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows.

Doreen had intuition. Everything she said was like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.

Joy:show joy & enjoy: then others will be joyful.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I cannot life for life itself...

I cannot life for life itself: but for the words which stay the flux. My life, I feel, will not be lived until there are books and stories which relive it perpetually in time. I forget too easily how it was, and shrink to the horror of the here and now, with no past and no future. Writing breaks open the vaults of the dead and the skies behind which the prophesying angels hide. The mind makes and makes, spinning its web.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Sure, I’m dramatic and sloppi...

Sure, I’m dramatic and sloppily semi-cynical and semi-sentimental. But, in leisure years I could grow and choose my way. Now I am living on the edge. We all are on the brink, and it takes a lot of nerve, a lot of energy, to teeter on the edge, looking over, looking down into the windy blackness and not being quite able to make out, through the yellow, stinking mist, just what lies below in the slime, in the oozing, vomit-streaked slime; and so I could go on, my thoughts, writing much, trying to find the core, the meaning for myself.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

To learn and think; to think ...

To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

So you got rid of your astoni...

So you got rid of your astonishment that someone could write so much more dynamically than you. You stopped cherishing your aloneness and poetic differentness to your delicately flat little bosom. You said: she's to good to forget. How about making her a friend and competitor — you could learn alot from her. So you'll try. So maybe she'll laugh in your face. So maybe she'll beat you hollow in the end. So anyhow, you'll try, and maybe, possibly, she can stand you. Here's hoping!

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

The moon, also, is merciless:...

The moon, also, is merciless: she would drag me Cruelly, being barren. Her radiance scathes me. Or perhaps I have caught her.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

A man's world is different fr...

A man's world is different from a woman's world and a man's emotions are different from a woman's emotions and only marriage can bring the two different sets of emotions together properly.

Spiderlike, I spin mirrors, Loyal to my image.

If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Perhaps you considered yourself an oracle, Mouthpiece of the dead, or of some god or other. Thirty years now I have labored To dredge the silt from your throat. I am none the wiser.

I collect men with interesting names.
