Sylvia Plath
“Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“It is as if my life were magically run by two electric currents: joyous positive and despairing negative - which ever is running at the moment dominates my life, floods it.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Sylvia Plath
“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.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Being born a woman is my awful tragedy. From the moment I was conceived I was doomed to sprout breasts and ovaries rather than penis and scrotum; to have my whole circle of action, thought and feeling rigidly circumscribed by my inescapable feminity. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars--to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording--all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath
“It is awful to want to go away and to want to go nowhere.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
