“Don't bite till you know if it's bread or stone.”
― Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

“And tonight our skin, our bones,
that have survived our fathers,
will meet, delicate in the hold,
fastened together in an intricate lock.
Then one of us will shout,
"My need is more desperate!" and
I will eat you slowly with kisses
even though the killer in you
has gotten out.”
― Anne Sexton, Love Poems

“I am a collection of dismantled almosts.”
― Anne Sexton, Anne Sexton: A Self-Portrait in Letters

“Need is not quite belief.”
― Anne Sexton, All My Pretty Ones
