“It is alarming to feel the soul
Leap to the surface and find no sheltering wall.”
― May Sarton, Selected Poems

“Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself, and if he only learns to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world.”
― May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude

“I have never written a book that was not born out of a question I needed to answer for myself.”
