Margaret Fuller
Image
Who does not observe the immediate glow and security that is diffused over the life of woman, before restless or fretful, by engaging in gardening, building, or the lowest department of art? Here is something that is not routine--something that draws forth life towards the infinite.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
Image
The only woman to whom it has been given to touch what is decisive in the present world and to have a presentiment of the world of the future.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller

The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Tremble not before the free man, but before the slave who has chains to break.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Woman is born for love, and it is impossible to turn her from seeking it.
Margaret Fuller
Image
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There are noble books but one wants the breath of life sometimes. And I see no divine person. I myself am more divine than any I see I think that is enough to say about them.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
