Anne Sexton, The Complete Poems

"Only my books anoint me, and a few friends, those who reach into my veins."

"Watch out for intellect,because it knows so much it knows nothingand leaves you hanging upside down,mouthing knowledge as your heartfalls out of your mouth."

"I am stuffing your mouth with yourpromises and watching you vomit them out upon my face."

"I am God, la de dah."

"Only my books anoint me, and a few friends, those who reach into my veins."

"Watch out for intellect,because it knows so much it knows nothingand leaves you hanging upside down,mouthing knowledge as your heartfalls out of your mouth."
