More quotes by Emily Dickinson
The world allured me & in an unguarded moment I listened to her siren voice. From that moment I seemed to lose interest in heavenly things. Friends reasoned with me & told me of the danger I was in. I felt my danger & was alarmed, but I had rambled too far to return & ever since my heart has been growing harder.
Emily Dickinson
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Emily Dickinson
I can wade Grief -- Whole Pools of it -- I'm used to that -- But the least push of Joy Breaks up my feet -- And I tip -- drunken -- Let no Pebble -- smile -- 'Twas the New Liquor -- That was all!
Emily Dickinson
Publication - is the auction of the mind.
Emily Dickinson
Dreams are the subtle Dower That make us rich an Hour Then fling us poor Out of the purple door.

Not to discover weakness is The Artifice of strength.
Emily Dickinson
This is my letter to the world That never wrote to me
Emily Dickinson
His Cheek is his Biographer- As long as he can blush.

Emily Dickinson
It is finished, is never said of us
Emily Dickinson
I am one of the lingering bad ones, and so do I slink away, and pause, and ponder, and ponder, and pause, and do work without knowing why - not surely for this brief world, and more sure it is not for heaven - and I ask what this message of Christ means.
Emily Dickinson
I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.
Emily Dickinson
You are nipping in the bud fancies which I let blossom. The shore is safer, but I love to buffet the sea - I can count the bitter wrecks here in these pleasant waters, and hear the murmuring winds, but oh, I love the danger!
Emily Dickinson
Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate, Whose table once a Guest, but not The second time, is set. Whose crumbs the crows inspect, And with ironic caw Flap past it to the Farmer's corn Men eat of it and die.
Emily Dickinson
Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.
Emily Dickinson
March is the month of expectation, The things we do not know, The Persons of Prognostication Are coming now. We try to sham becoming firmness, But pompous joy Betrays us, as his first betrothal Betrays a boy.
Emily Dickinson
Safe Despair it is that raves- Agony is frugal. Puts itself severe away For its own perusal.
Emily Dickinson
I hope your rambles have been sweet, and your reveries spacious
