The snow has quietness in it; no songs, no smells, no shouts or traffic. When I speak my own voice shocks me.
Anne SextonAll 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.
