Additional quotes by Anne Sexton

I’ll put it out there: I am scarred by the nostalgic indicipherability of my own desires; I an engulfed by the intimidating unknown, pushed through darkness and dragged down by the irretrievable past sweetness of my memories.

I want to sleep all day and night (i.e., not live but not quite die) …

The soul was not cured,
it was as full as a clothes closet
of dresses that did not fit.

Now listen, life is lovely, but I CAN’T LIVE IT. I can’t even explain. I know how silly it sounds … but if you knew how it FELT. - Anne Sexton
