Poetry Quote by Anne Sexton — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.”

“Wanting to Die”

“As it has been said:”

“Fee-fi-fo-fum -”

“Live or die, but don't poison everything...”

“Those moments before a poem comes, when the heightened awareness comes over you, and you realize a poem is buried there somewhere, you prepare yourself. I run around, you know, kind of skipping around the house, marvelous elation. It’s as though I could fly.”

“The day breaks not: it is my heart.”

“I’ll always deny that I kissed her.”

“sekali berarti sesudah itu mati”

“I am simply a complicated girl”

“Once upon a time”

“Maybe you're one of those people who writes poems, but rarely reads them. Let me put this as delicately as I can: If you don't read, your writing is going to suck.”
