Briley Sexton

“What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.”
― W.H. Davies, Common Joys and Other Poems

“I am stuffing your mouth with your
promises and watching
you vomit them out upon my face.”
― Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

“Ted: A fucking good poem is a weapon.

It's-- and not like a--
a popgun or something.

- It's a bomb.
It's like a bloody big bomb.

Sylvia: That’s why they make children
learn them in school.

They don't want them messing about
with them on their own.

I mean, just imagine
if a sonnet went off accidentally.

Boom.”
― John Brownlow, Sylvia: The Shooting Script

“We love the things we love for what they are.”
― Robert Frost
