Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

It doesn't matter who my father was, it matters who I remember he was.

It was also my violent heart that broke.

God went out of me
as if the sea dried up like sandpaper, as if the sun
became a latrine.
God went out of my fingers.
They became stone.
My body became a side of mutton
and despair roamed the slaughterhouse.
