Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

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.

It is June. I am tired of being brave.

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

I should be working and not writing you. But this is a missing you, where are you, hello and necessary for my soul. - Anne Sexton
