Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

I suffer for birds and fireflies
but not frogs, she said,
and threw him across the room.
Kaboom!
Like a genie out of a samovar,
a handsome prince arose in the
corner of the bedroom.

And we are magic talking to itself,
noisy and alone. I am queen of all my sins
forgotten. Am I still lost?
Once I was beautiful. Now I am myself,
counting this row and that row of moccasins
waiting on the silent shelf.

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

From Camus’ notebooks … “an intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. - Anne Sexton
