Silence/gestures

Famous quotes containing the words silence and/or gestures:

    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The trouble is
    that I’d let my gestures freeze.
    The trouble was not
    in the kitchen or the tulips
    but only in my head, my head.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
