Anne Sexton Quote

The tongue, the Chinese say,
is like a sharp knife:
it kills
without drawing blood.


"The Dead Heart" - The Awful Rowing Toward God (1975)


The tongue, the Chinese say, is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.

The tongue, the Chinese say, is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.

The tongue, the Chinese say, is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.

The tongue, the Chinese say, is like a sharp knife: it kills without drawing blood.
