Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.

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

"From "Her Kind"

I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms and the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind."

Not that it was beautiful, but that, in the end, there was a certain sense of order there; something worth learning in that narrow diary of my mind - Anne Sexton
