Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

Blue eyes wash off sometimes.

And if I tried
to give you something else,
something outside myself,
you would not know
that the worst of anyone
can be, finally,
an accident of hope

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

Twice I have so simply declared myself,
have possessed the enemy, eaten the enemy,
have taken on his craft, his magic.

And then I knew that the voice of the spirits had been let in — as intense as an epileptic aura — and that no longer would I sing alone. - Anne Sexton
