  • When you are insane, you are busy being insane-all the time ... when I was crazy, that was all I was.

  • ... you looked around and saw everybody either married or busy and happy and thinking and being creative, and you felt scared, sick, lethargic, worst of all, not wanting to cope. You saw visions of yourself in a straightjacket, and a drain on the family, murdering your mother in actuality, killing the edifice of love and respect built up over the years in the hearts of other people.

  • You have lost all delight in life. Ahead is a large array of blind alleys. You are half-deliberately, half-desperately cutting off your grip on creative life. You are becoming a neuter machine. You cannot love, even if you knew how to begin to love. Every thought is a devil, a hell-if you could do a lot of things over again, ah, how differently you would do them! You want to go home, back to the womb. You watch the world bang door after door in your face, numbly, bitterly. You have forgotten the secret you knew, once, ah, once, of being joyous, of laughing, of opening doors.

    Sylvia Plath (2013). “The Journals of Sylvia Plath”, p.67, Anchor
  • Very depressed today. Unable to write a thing. Menacing gods. I feel outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness.

    Sylvia Plath (2000). “The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, 1950-1962”, Anchor
  • I keep wanting to crawl back into the womb.

    Sylvia Plath (2013). “The Journals of Sylvia Plath”, p.84, Anchor
