More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink And rise and sink and rise and sink again Love can not fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone Yet many a man is making friends with death Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
After the feet of beauty fly my own.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
That is my being, the madness of an unaccustomed mood.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I make bean stalks, I'm A builder, like yourself.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Need we say it was not love, Now that love is perished?
Edna St. Vincent Millay
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
You are loved. If so, what else matters?
Edna St. Vincent Millay
When you publish something, it is very much as if you pulled your pants down in public. If what you have written is good, nobody can hurt you if what you have written is bad, nobody can help you.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
We were so wholly one I had not thought That we could die apart. I had not thought That I could move,—and you be stiff and still! That I could speak,—and you perforce be dumb! I think our heart-strings were, like warp and woof In some firm fabric, woven in and out Your golden filaments in fair design Across my duller fibre.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I love humanity but I hate people.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Oh, children, growing up to be Adventurers into sophistry, Forbear, forbear to be of those That read the rood to learn the rose.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
What should I be but just what I am?
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death I am not on his pay-roll.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Childhood Is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not at all in favor of hard work for its own sake many people who work very hard indeed produce terrible things, and should most certainly not be encouraged.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
It's little I know what's in my heart,What's in my mind it's little I know,But there's that in me must up and start,And it's little I care where my feet go.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Although we sometimes did without a few of life's necessities, we rarely lacked for its luxuries.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Not Truth, but Faith it is that keeps the world alive.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
