More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Cut if you will with sleep's dull knife, the years from off your life, my friend! the years that death takes off my life, he'll take from off the other end!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Lord I do fear / Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year.
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
You are loved. If so, what else matters?
Edna St. Vincent Millay
The heart grows weary after a little Of what it loved for a little while.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am all the time talking about you, and bragging, to one person or another. I am like the Ancient Mariner, who had a tale in his heart he must unfold to all. I am always buttonholing somebody and saying, Someday you must meet my mother.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Night falls fast. Today is in the past.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
Beauty is whatever gives joy.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Evil alone has oil for every wheel.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
Music my rampart, and my only one.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not afraid of lawyers as I used to be. They are lambs in wolves' clothing.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love is not all it is not meat nor drink.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
There is no shelter in you anywhere.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Parrots, tortoises and redwoods live a longer life than men do Men a longer life than dogs do Dogs a longer life than love does.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
pity me that the heart is slow to learn what the swift mind beholds at every turn.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
They say when you are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now
Edna St. Vincent Millay
