"The joy that isn't shared dies young."
- Anne Sexton

"Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard."
- Anne Sexton

"Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth."
- Anne Sexton

"I try to take care and be gentle to them. Words and eggs must be handled with care. Once broken they are impossible things to repair."
- Anne Sexton
