Anne Sexton Quotes

Someone is dead. Even the trees know it, those poor old dancers who come on lewdly, all pea-green scarfs and spine pole Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time we were all born, popped out like jelly rolls forgetting our fishdom, the pleasuring seas, the country of comfort, spanked into the oxygens of death Picture Quote #1

The heart, this child of myself that resides in the flesh, this ultimate signature of the me, the start of my blindness and sleep, builds a death crÃƒÂ¨che 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

Every time I get happy the Nana-hex comes through. Birds turn into plumber’s tools, a sonnet turns into a dirty joke, a wind turns into a tracheotomy, a boat turns into a corpse Picture Quote #1

I did not know the woman I would be nor that blood would bloom in me each month like an exotic flower, nor that children, two monuments, would break from between my legs Picture Quote #1

Father, you died once, salted down at fifty-nine, packed down like a big snow angel, wasn’t that enough? Picture Quote #1

O fallen angel, the companion within me, whisper something holy before you pinch me into the grave Picture Quote #1

I can only sign over everything, the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels, the soul, the family tree, the mailbox. Then I can sleep. Maybe Picture Quote #1

I would sell my life to avoid the pain that begins in the crib with its bars or perhaps with your first breath when the planets drill your future into you Picture Quote #1

If you meet a cross-eyed person you must plunge into the grass, alongside the chilly ants, fish through the green fingernails and come up with the four-leaf clover Picture Quote #1

Unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag, of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag. Not always, mind you. Usually I’m like my frying pan useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan Picture Quote #1

At six I lived in a graveyard full of dolls, avoiding myself, my body, the suspect in its grotesque house Picture Quote #1

The family story tells, and it was told true, of my great-grandfather who begat eight genius children and bought twelve almost new grand pianos. He left a considerable estate when he died Picture Quote #1

Loving me with my shoes off means loving my long brown legs, sweet dears, as good as spoons; and my feet, those two children let out to play naked Picture Quote #1

Cinderella and the prince lived, they say, happily ever after, like two dolls in a museum case never bothered by diapers or dust, never arguing over the timing of an egg, never telling the same story twice Picture Quote #1

I am teaching...It’s kind of like having a love affair with a rhinoceros Picture Quote #1

It is a dead heart. It is inside of me. It is a stranger yet once it was agreeable, opening and closing like a clam Picture Quote #1

In a dream you are never eighty Picture Quote #1

I'm lost. And it's my own fault. It's about time I figured out that I can't ask people to keep me found Picture Quote #1

Quite collected at cocktail parties, meanwhile in my head I'm undergoing open heart surgery Picture Quote #1

I imitate a memory of belief that I do not own Picture Quote #1

Dearest, although everything has happened, nothing has happened Picture Quote #1

I was spread out daily and examined for flaws Picture Quote #1

Love! That red disease Picture Quote #1

Why have your eyes gone into their own room? Picture Quote #1

You said the anger would come back just as the love did Picture Quote #1

Catch me. I'm your disease Picture Quote #1

There is rust in my mouth, the stain of an old kiss Picture Quote #1

And the aura of you remains, remains, remains… Picture Quote #1
