627 Quotes by Anne Sexton

I am younger each year at the first snow.

Poems aren't postcards to send home.

Fear / a motor, / pumps me around and around / until I fade slowly ...

I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. The whole life of us writers, the whole product I guess I mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. It's all the same poem. It doesn't belong to any one writer - it's God's poem perhaps. Or God's people's poem.

Poetry to me is prayer ...

It's a little mad, but I believe I am many people. When I am writing a poem, I feel I am the person who should have written it.

psychiatry is a dirty mirror ...

I am not at home in myself. I am my own stranger.

A woman / who loves a woman / is forever young.
