Famous quotes containing the words named and/or days:

    “We named you Joy.
    I, who was never quite sure
    about being a girl, needed another
    life, another image to remind me.
    And this was my worst guilt; you could not cure
    nor soothe it. I made you to find me.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “to slam the door on all the days she’ll stay the same
    and never ask why and never think who to ask,
    to slam the door and rip off her orange blouse.
    Father, father, I wish I were dead.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
