Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath was an American poet, novelist, and short-story writer known for her confessional style and her struggles with mental illness.

"You must create the right kind of dream, the sober, adult kind of magic: illusion born from disillusion."

Sylvia Plath

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

Sylvia Plath

"Feel oddly barren. My sickness is when words draw in their horns and the physical world refuses to be ordered, recreated, arranged and selected. I am a victim of it then, not a master."

Sylvia Plath

"My mother smiled. 'I knew my baby wasn't like that.'I looked at her. 'Like what?'Like those awful people. Those awful dead people at that hospital.' She paused. 'I knew you'd decide to be all right again."
