What I hate is the thought of being under a man's thumb," I had told Doctor Nolan. "A man doesn't have a worry in the world, while I've got a baby hanging over my head like a big stick, to keep me in line.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

And so I rehabilitate myself ...

And so I rehabilitate myself - staying up late this Friday night in spite of vowing to go to bed early, because it is more important to capture moments like this, keen shifts in mood, sudden veering of direction - than to lose it in slumber.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

As a poet I would say everything should be able to come into a poem but I can't put toothbrushes in a poem. I really can't.

I tried to speak in a cool, calm way, but the zombie rose up in my throat and choked me off.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

No, I won't try to escape myself by losing myself in artificial chatter 'Did you have a nice vacation?' 'Oh, yes, and you?' I'll stay here and try to pin that loneliness down.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Look at that ugly dead mask h...

Look at that ugly dead mask here and do not forget it. It is a chalk mask with dead dry poison behind it, like the death angel. It is what I was this fall, and what I never want to be again. The pouting disconsolate mouth, the flat, bored, numb, expressionless eyes: symptoms of the foul decay within.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Do I like to write? Why? Abou...

Do I like to write? Why? About what? Will I give up and say, "Living and feeding a man's insatiable guts and begetting children occupies my whole life. Don't have time to write"?

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I do not love; I do not love ...

I do not love; I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

It's the living, the eating, ...

It's the living, the eating, the sleeping that everyone needs. Ideas don't matter so much after all. My three best friends are Catholic. I can't see their beliefs, but I can see the things they love to do on earth. When you come right down to it, I do believe in the freedom of the individual.

I get into a rut, unable to yank my mind out of it.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I feel occasionally my skull ...

I feel occasionally my skull will crack, fatigue is continuous - I only go from less exhausted to more exhausted & back again.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I hate Technicolor. Everybody...

I hate Technicolor. Everybody in a Technicolor movie seems to feel obliged to wear a lurid costume in each new scene and to stand around like a clotheshorse with a lot of very green trees or very yellow wheat or very blue ocean rolling away for miles and miles in every direction.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

... you looked around and saw...

... you looked around and saw everybody either married or busy and happy and thinking and being creative, and you felt scared, sick, lethargic, worst of all, not wanting to cope. You saw visions of yourself in a straightjacket, and a drain on the family, murdering your mother in actuality, killing the edifice of love and respect built up over the years in the hearts of other people.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I think writers are the most narcissistic people. Well, I musn't say this, I like many of them, a great many of my friends are writers.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Don't talk to me about the wo...

Don't talk to me about the world needing cheerful stuff! What the person out of Belsen physical or psychological wants is nobody saying the birdies still go tweet-tweet, but the full knowledge that somebody else has been there and knows the worst, just what it is like.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I had hoped, at my departure,...

I had hoped, at my departure, I would feel sure and knowledgeable about everything that lay ahead -- after all, I had been "analyzed." Instead, all I could see were question marks.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I had decided I would put off the novel until I had gone to Europe and had a lover.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

I need some older, wiser being to cry to. I talk to God, but the sky is empty, and Orion walks by and doesn't speak.

Sylvia Plath 605 quotes

Antoine St. Exupery once mourned the loss of a man and the secret treasures that he held inside him. I loved Exupery; I will read him again, and he will talk to me, not being dead, or gone. Is that life after death — mind living on paper and flesh living in offspring? Maybe. I do not know.

I drink sherry and wine by myself because I like it and I get the sensuous feeling of indulgence...luxury, bliss, erotic-tinged.
