Anne Sexton Quotes About Husband

Quotes about: Husband

• All I wanted was a little piece of life, to be married, to have children.... I was trying my damnedest to lead a conventional life, for that was how I was brought up, and it was what my husband wanted of me. But one can't build little white picket fences to keep the nightmares out.

  and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
  or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
  Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.
