Whenever I'm sad I'm going to die, or so nervous I can't sleep, or in love with somebody I won't be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say: 'I'll go take a hot bath.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I must learn more about these people―try to understand them, put myself in their place. No, instead I am so busy keeping my head above water that I scarcely know who I am, much less who anyone else is.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
But I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure at all. How did I know that someday―at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere―the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn't descend again?
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I felt myself melting into the shadows like the negative of a person I'd never seen before in my life.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who ski better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
The thought that I might kill myself formed in my mind coolly as a tree or a flower.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
At twenty I tried to die And get back, back, back to you. I thought even the bones would do.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
Why do we electrocute men for murdering an individual and then pin a purple heart on them for mass slaughter of someone arbitrarily labeled “enemy?
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
It was my first big chance, but here I was, sitting back and letting it run through my fingers like so much water.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. I remember what this flesh has gone through; I dream of what it may go through.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I felt dumb and subdued. Every time I tried to concentrate, my mind glided off, like a skater, into a large empty space, and pirouetted there, absently.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
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.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash again the next. It made me tired just to think of it.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I would catch sight of some flawless man off in the distance, but as soon as he moved closer I immediately saw he wouldn’t do at all.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
The trouble about jumping was that if you didn't pick the right number of storeys, you might still be alive when you hit bottom.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I am sure there are things that can't be cured by a good bath but I can't think of one.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
What is my life for and what am I going to do with it? I don't know and I'm afraid. I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I am too pure for you or anyone. From the poem "Fever 103�", 20 October 1962
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
How can you be so many women to so many strange people, oh you strange girl?
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
I began to think vodka was my drink at last. It didn’t taste like anything, but it went straight down into my stomach like a sword swallowers’ sword and made me feel powerful and godlike.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
People or stars Regard me sadly, I disappoint them. From the poem "Sheep in Fog", 2 December 1962, 28 January 1963
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
Ever since I was small I loved feeling somebody comb my hair. It made me go all sleepy and peaceful.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
What did my fingers do before they held him? What did my heart do, with its love? From " Three Women: A Poem for Three Voices", 1962
Quote by -Sylvia Plath
If I didn't think, I'd be much happier; if I didn't have any sex organs, I wouldn't waver on the brink of nervous emotion and tears all the time.
