"The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath" Quotes

I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.

I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain.

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.

I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection.

I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, 'This is what it is to be happy.'

I desire the things which will destroy me in the end.

I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills.

I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

I can never be all the things I want to be. I am too many conflicting selves.

I am too pure for you or anyone.
