“At this rate, I'd be lucky if I wrote a page a day.

Then I knew what the problem was.

I needed experience.

How could I write about life when I'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing?”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.”

“I write only because
There is a voice within me
That will not be still”
― Sylvia Plath, Letters Home
