My favorite Sylvia Plath quotes
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip one hour more of sleep and live. “I may never be happy, but tonight I am content.
Yes, I want the world's praise, money, and love, and am furious with anyone...getting ahead of me. 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
Why can't I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?” “I am gone quite mad with the knowledge of accepting the overwhelming number of things I can never know, places I can never go, and people I can never be And I sit here without identity: faceless. My head aches.” I didn't know. I had no idea how greedy my heart really was. yeah There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have

“I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.
The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.”
I didn't know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I'd cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.
Me when I was five years old:
“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.”
I feel outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness.
I have always been extremely fond of the definition of Death which says it is: Inaccessibility to Experience.”
So much working, reading, thinking, living to do. A lifetime is not long enough. Nor youth to old age long enough.Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I've taken for granted
“I shut my eyes, and the music broke over me like a rainstorm. It doesn't take two to dance, it only takes one,’ and I let myself blow and bend like a tree in the wind.”
If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.”
while typing this I feel like playing Lana del Rey "Lust for life'' and 13 Beaches
