    “. . . your history is no less important to your survival than your ability to breathe. In the end, you can only determine whether to saturate your memories with pain or with perspective.

    To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.
    A bad dream.
    I remembered everything.”

    Sylvia Plath
    “Now, lying on my back in bed, I imagined Buddy saying, ‘Do you know what a poem is, Esther?’
    ‘No, what?’ I would say.
    ‘A piece of dust.’
    Then just as he was smiling and starting to look proud, I would say, ‘So are the cadavers you cut up. So are the people you think you’re curing. They’re dust as dust as dust. I reckon a good poem lasts a whole lot longer than a hundred of those people put together.’
    And of course Buddy wouldn’t have any answer to that, because what I said was true. People were made of nothing so much as dust, and I couldn’t see that doctoring all that dust was a bit better than writing poems people would remember and repeat to themselves when they were unhappy or sick and couldn’t sleep.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
