Quote by Sylvia Plath

“They're really going to mash the world up this time, the damn fools. When I read that description of the victims of Nagasaki I was sick: "And we saw what first looked like lizards crawling up the hill, croaking. It got lighter and we could see that it was humans, their skin burned off, and their bodies broken where they had been thrown against something." Sounds like something out of a horror story. God save us from doing that again. For the United States did that. Our guilt. My country. No, never again.”

“कितना प्यारा दिन है और कितनी प्यारी है ये काली राते। इन दिन और रातो से कई ज़्यादा अच्छी लगती है तुम्हारी बाते। दुनियाँ है बड़ी जालिम कोई सच कोई झूठ क्या क्या तुम्हें बता दे। मेरी निगाहों से तुम देखो, ताजमहल से भी ज़्यादा सुंदर है तुम्हारी आँखें।”
