Anne Sexton Quotes

God owns heaven but He craves the earth.
In a dream you are never eighty.
It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.
Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.
The joy that isn't shared dies young.
The sea is mother-death and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.
