Anne Sexton Quotes

I am younger each year at the first snow Picture Quote #1

Let there be seasons so that our tongues will be rich in asparagus and limes Picture Quote #1

All day I’ve built a lifetime and now the sun sinks to undo it Picture Quote #1

Only my books anoint me, and a few friends, those who reach into my veins Picture Quote #1

When I’m writing, I know I’m doing the thing I was born to do Picture Quote #1

You who have inhabited me in the deepest and most broken place, are going, going Picture Quote #1

The windows, the starving windows that drive the trees like nails into my heart Picture Quote #1

The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot Picture Quote #1

But suicides have a special language. Like carpenters they want to know which tools. They never ask why build Picture Quote #1

My mouth blooms like a cut. I've been wronged all year, tedious nights, nothing but rough elbows in them and delicate boxes of Kleenex calling crybaby crybaby, you fool! Picture Quote #1

Beauty is a simple passion, but, oh my friends, in the end you will dance the fire dance in iron shoes Picture Quote #1

I am, each day, typing out the God my typewriter believes in. Very quick. Very intense, like a wolf at a live heart Picture Quote #1

I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss. I am pushing knives through the hands that created two into one. Our hands do not bleed at this, they lie still in their dishonor Picture Quote #1

I am stuffing your mouth with your promises and watching you vomit them out upon my face Picture Quote #1

Death, I need my little addiction to you. Need that tiny voice who, even as I rise from the sea, all woman, all there, says kill me, kill me Picture Quote #1

Here in the hospital, I say, that is not my body, not my body. I am not here for the doctors to read like a recipe Picture Quote #1

Earth, earth riding your merry go round toward extinction, right to the roots thickening the oceans like gravy, festering in your caves, you are becoming a latrine Picture Quote #1

Emerald as heavy as a golf course, ruby as dark as an afterbirth, diamond as white as sun on the sea Picture Quote #1

She has always been there, my darling. She is, in fact, exquisite. Fireworks in the dull middle of February and as real as a cast iron pot Picture Quote #1

Set forth three children under the moon, three cherubs drawn by Michelangelo, done this with her legs spread out in the terrible months in the chapel Picture Quote #1

The house of my body has spoken often as you rebuild me like blocks, and promise to come visit when I'm finally adjusted on safe land, and am livable, joist to joist with storm windows and screens Picture Quote #1

The sea is mother death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up Picture Quote #1

The grass as bristly and stout as chives and me wondering when the ground will break and me wondering how anything fragile survives Picture Quote #1

As it has been said: Love and a cough cannot be concealed. Even a small cough. Even a small love Picture Quote #1

Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth Picture Quote #1

Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself, counting this row and that row of moccasins waiting on the silent shelf Picture Quote #1

Depression is boring, I think and I would do better to make some soup and light up the cave Picture Quote #1

I must always forget how one word is able to pick out another, to manner another, until I have got something I might have said... but did not Picture Quote #1

She is so naked and singular. She is the sum of yourself and your dream. Climb her like a monument, step after step. She is solid Picture Quote #1

I am alone here in my own mind. There is no map and there is no road. It is one of a kind just as yours is Picture Quote #1
