Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

Now I am just an elderly lady who is full of spleen,
who humps around greater Boston in a God-awful hat,
who never lived and yet outlived her time,
hating men and dogs and Democrats.

I am a collection of dismantled almosts.

I am ugly,
submerged in my own past
and my own madness
