Emily Dickinson

"Where thou art, that is home."

"Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it."

"Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality."

"Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent."

"Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate."

"Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough."

"Fortune befriends the bold."

"How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!"

"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."

"I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name."

"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."

"If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."

"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry."

"Morning without you is a dwindled dawn."

"Nature is our eldest mother; she will do no harm."

"Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!"

"Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed."

"Tell the truth, but tell it slant."

"That it will never come again is what makes life sweet."

"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."

"There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry."

"They might not need me; but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity."

"To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else."

"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few."
