More quotes by Emily Dickinson
Assent - and you are sane - Demur - and you're straightaway dangerous - and handled with a chain.
Emily Dickinson
Tis not that dieing hurts us so- tis living- hurts us more.
Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chilliest land And on the strangest sea Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
Emily Dickinson
You remember my ideal cat has always a huge rat in its mouth, just going out of sight - though going out of sight in itself has a peculiar pleasure.
Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson
Sweet Skepticism of the Heart That knows and does not know And tosses like a Fleet of Balm Affronted by the snow.
Emily Dickinson
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
Emily Dickinson
November always seemed to me the Norway of the year.
Emily Dickinson
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
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
