More quotes by May Sarton
It is curious how any making of order makes one feel mentally ordered, ordered inside.
May Sarton
I am not ready to die, / But I am learning to trust death / As I have trusted life.
May Sarton
In the garden the door is always open into the holy - growth, birth, death. Every flower holds the whole mystery in its short cycle, and in the garden we are never far away from death, the fertilizing, good, creative death.
May Sarton
For inside all the weakness of old age, the spirit, God knows, is as mercurial as it ever was.
May Sarton
It is dangerous it seems to me for a civilization when there is a complete abyss betewen people in general and the artists. Or is it always so? The poets who are most ardently on the people's side write in such a way that the people cannot see rhyme nor reason to their work.
May Sarton
A body without bones would be a limp impossible mess, so a day without steady routine would be disruptive and chaotic.
May Sarton
Routine is not a prison, but the way into freedom from time.
May Sarton
The body is a universe in itself and must be held as sacred as anything in creation....It is dangerous to forget the body as sacramental.
May Sarton
Absence becomes the greatest Presence.
May Sarton
I suppose I envy painters because they can meditate on form and structure, on color and light, and not concern themselves with human torment and chaos. It is restful even to imagine expression without words.
May Sarton
It is sometimes the most fragile things that have the power to endure and become sources of strength.
May Sarton
I believe that children long for form just as grownups do, and that it releases rather than cramps creative energy.
May Sarton
The tragic thing about learning from experience is I fear that one can only learn from one's own experience. Other people's - other nations' - experiences simply do not help. They can be imaginatively learned from. But people do not act on other people's experiences.
May Sarton
So this was fame at last! Nothing but a vast debt to be paid to the world in energy, blood, and time.
May Sarton
Why should it happen that among the great many women whom I see and am fond of, suddenly somebody I meet for half an hour opens the door into poetry?
May Sarton
People who are always thinking of the feelings of others can be very destructive because they are hiding so much from themselves.
May Sarton
I sometimes think men don't 'hear' very well, if I take your meaning to be 'understand what is going on in a person.' That's what makes them so restful. Women wear each other out with their everlasting touching of the nerve.
May Sarton
Time unbounded is hard to handle.
May Sarton
It feels a long way up and down from zero.
May Sarton
Lunches are just not good. They take the heart out of the day and the spaciousness from the morning's work.
