Happiness Baby Morning

More From Anne Sexton

Babies, babies, babies. why did god make so many babies? but no, god didn't make them. stupid people made them.

You see how hillary clinton tried to jump on jeb bush for talking about "anchor babies"? hillary tweeted, "they aren't called 'anchor babies.' they're called 'babies,'" which is a bit ironic given that hillary's a big supporter of planned parenthood where "babies" are called "tissue mass" and, what, "unviable cells"? whatever it is.

A question arises regarding the angels who dwell with us, serve us and protect us, whether their joys are equal to those of the angels in heaven, or whether they are diminished by the fact that they protect and serve us. no, they are certainly not; for the work of the angels is the will of god, and the will of god is the work of the angels; their service to us does not hinder their joy nor their working. if god told an angel to go to a tree and pluck caterpillars off it, the angel would be quite ready to do so, and it would be his happiness, if it were the will of god.

Pride is still aiming at the best houses: men would be angels, angels would be gods. aspiring to be gods, if angels fell; aspiring to be angels men rebel.

I get very excited when i wake up in the morning and i am just full of oxygen. i say that purposefully. i try not to take for granted how lucky we are to have life and breath and opportunity. once we've got that, we can conquer anything. truly, i get high on oxygen, and once i graduate from that, what really fulfills me is doing what i love. that, to me, is absolutely priceless.

The woman in charge of costuming assigned us our outfits and gave us a lecture on keeping things clean. she held up a calendar and said, "ladies, you know what this is. use it. i have scraped enough blood out from the crotches of elf knickers to last me the rest of my life. and don't tell me, 'i don't wear underpants, i'm a dancer.' you're not a dancer. if you were a real dancer you wouldn't be here. you're an elf and you're going to wear panties like an elf.

Homer is one of the men of genius who solve that fine problem of art - the finest of all, perhaps - truly to depict humanity by the enlargement of man: that is, to generate the real in the ideal.

I'm a very passionate believer in the unity of knowledge. there is one world of reality - one world of our experience that we're seeking to describe.

The safest kind of praise is to foretell that another will become great in some particular way. it has the greatest show of magnanimity and the least of it in reality.
