More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Pour away despair and rinse the cup. Eat happiness like bread.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
it may be said of me by Harper & Brothers, that although I reject their proposals, I welcome their advances.
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
If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

Edna St. Vincent Millay
Beauty is whatever gives joy.

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
My candle burns at both ends it will not last the night but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
I love humanity but I hate people.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
But far, oh, far as passionate eye can reach, And long, ah, long as rapturous eye can cling, The world is mine: blue hill, still silver lake, Broad field, bright flower, and the long white road A gateless garden, and an open path: My feet to follow, and my heart to hold.
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
pity me that the heart is slow to learn what the swift mind beholds at every turn.
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
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
Guess I'll weep awhile. Guess I won't, I mean.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
You are loved. If so, what else matters?
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Music my rampart, and my only one.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
No one but Night, with tears on her dark face, watches beside me in this windy place.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
