"The joy that isn't shared dies young"

- Anne Sexton

About this Quote

In this quote, Anne Sexton is expressing the concept that delight is indicated to be shared with others. If we keep our joy to ourselves and do not spread it to those around us, it will eventually vanish and die. Pleasure is not suggested to be kept concealed or hoarded, however rather it is implied to be shared and infected others. By sharing our pleasure with others, we not just bring joy to those around us, but we likewise keep our own delight alive and vibrant. This quote functions as a pointer to always share our pleasure with others and not let it pass away young.
