More quotes by Emily Dickinson
The truth I do not dare to know I muffle with a jest.
Emily Dickinson
It is finished, is never said of us
Emily Dickinson
a sick room is at times too sacred a place for a friend's knock, timid as that is.
Emily Dickinson
She died--this was the way she died And when her breath was done, Took up her simple wardrobe And started for the sun. Her little figure at the gate The angels must have spied, Since I could never find her Upon the mortal side.
Emily Dickinson
All things do go a-courting, In earth, or sea, or air, God hath made nothing single But thee in His world so fair.
Emily Dickinson
Nature is what we know - Yet have not art to say - So impotent our wisdom is To her simplicity.
Emily Dickinson
Dreams are the subtle Dower That make us rich an Hour Then fling us poor Out of the purple door.
Emily Dickinson
If fame belonged to me, I could not escape her if she did not, the longest day would pass me on the chase, and the approbation of my dog would forsake me.
Emily Dickinson
The Things that never can come back, are several - Childhood - some forms of Hope - the Dead.
Emily Dickinson
I felt it shelter to speak to you.
Emily Dickinson
The brain is wider than the sky.
Emily Dickinson
THE soul should always stand ajar, That if the heaven inquire, He will not be obliged to wait, Or shy of troubling her. Depart, before the host has slid The bolt upon the door, To seek for the accomplished guest, -- Her visitor no more.
Emily Dickinson
Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir.
Emily Dickinson
Safe Despair it is that raves- Agony is frugal. Puts itself severe away For its own perusal.
Emily Dickinson
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Emily Dickinson
Proud of my broken heart since thou didst break it, Proud of the pain I did not feel till thee, Proud of my night since thou with moons dost slake it, Not to partake thy passion, my humility.
Emily Dickinson
After a hundred years Nobody knows the place, Agony, that enacted there, Motionless as peace.
Emily Dickinson
Faith is a fine invention When gentlemen can see, But microscopes are prudent In an emergency.
Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson
Tis not that dieing hurts us so- tis living- hurts us more.
Emily Dickinson
