Emily Dickinson9 quotes
Much Madness is divinest Sense —
To a discerning Eye —
Much Sense—the starkest Madness —
'Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail —
Assent—and you are sane —
Demur—you're straightway dangerous —
And handled with a Chain — — Emily Dickinson · 1886If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain. — Emily Dickinson · 1886Inebriate of Air - am I -
And debauchee of dew -
Reeling - thro endless summer days -
From inns of Molten Blue. — Emily Dickinson · 1861Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need. — Emily Dickinson · 1864We never know how high we are
Till we are asked to rise
And then if we are true to plan
Our statures touch the skies. — Emily Dickinson · 1886That Love is all there is,
Is all we know of Love;
It is enough, the freight should be
Proportioned to the groove. — Emily Dickinson · 1886All 9 quotes →Horace Greeley1 quote
