Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

All who love have lied.

I find now, swallowing one teaspoon
of pain, that it drops downward
to the past where it mixes
with last year’s cupful
and downward into a decade’s quart
and downward into a lifetime’s ocean.
I alternate treading water
and deadman’s float.

Let me hold your heart like a flower lest it bloom and collapse.

Oh, darling, let your body in, let it tie you in, in comfort. - Anne Sexton
