Quotes

I am accused. I dream of massacres. I am a garden of black and red agonies. I drink them, Hating myself, hating and fearing. And now theworld conceives. Its end and runs toward it, arms held out in love. Sylvia Plath
I am terrified by this dark thing That sleeps in me; All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity. Clouds pass and disperse. Are those the faces of love, those pale irretrievables? Is it for such I agitate my heart? I am incapable of more knowledge. What is this, this face So murderous in its strangle of branches? - Its snaky acids kiss. It petrifies the will. These are the isolate, slow faults That kill, that kill, that kill. Sylvia Plath
I do not love; I do not love anybody except myself. That is a rather shocking thing to admit. I have none of the selfless love of my mother. I have none of the plodding, practical love. . . . . I am, to be blunt and concise, in love only with myself, my puny being with its small inadequate breasts and meager, thin talents. I am capable of affection for those who reflect my own world. Sylvia Plath
.. I fancied you'd return the way you said, But I grow old and I forget your name.(I think I made you up inside my head.)I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.(I think I made you up inside my head.) Sylvia Plath

Love is a shadow./How you lie and cry after it./Listen: these are its hooves: it has gone off, like a horse./All night I shall gallop thus, impetuously,/Till your head is a stone, your pillow a little turf,/Echoing, echoing. 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. Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath quote: "Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences."
Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences. Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath quote: "If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll..."
If you pluck out my heart To find what makes it move, You’ll halt the clock That syncopates our love. Sylvia Plath
I hated men because they didn’t stay around and love me like a father: I could prick holes in them & show they were no father-material. I made them propose and then showed them they hadn’t a chance. I hated men because they didn’t have to suffer like a woman did. They could die or go to Spain. They could have fun while a woman had birth pangs. They could gamble while a woman skimped on the butter on the bread. Men, nasty lousy men. Sylvia Plath
Piece by piece, I fed my wardrobe to the night wind, and flutteringly, like a loved one’s ashes, the gray scraps were ferried off, to settle here, there, exactly where I would never know, in the dark heart of New York. Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath quote: "To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn: this..."
To learn and think; to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love. Sylvia Plath
I am sending back the keythat let me into bluebeard's study; because he would make love to me. I am sending back the key; in his eye's darkroom I can seemy X-rayed heart, dissected body: I am sending back the keythat let me into bluebeard s study. Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath quote: "from private flood. / Drama of each season / plots doom from..."
from private flood. / Drama of each season / plots doom from above, / yet all allergic reason / moves to our minor love Sylvia Plath
