Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
Margaret Fuller
Image
We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Plants of great vigor will almost always struggle into blossom, despite impediments. But there should be encouragement, and a free genial atmosphere for those of more timid sort, fair play for each in its own kind.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The public must learn how to cherish the nobler and rarer plants, and to plant the aloe, able to wait a hundred years for it's bloom, or it's garden will contain, presently, nothing but potatoes and pot-herbs.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest. Let this day's performance of the meanest duty be thy religion. Are the stars too distant, pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet, and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Some degree of expression is necessary for growth, but it should be little in proportion to the full life.
Margaret Fuller
Image
With the intellect I always have always shall overcome, but that is not the half of the work. The life, the life Oh my God! shall the life never be sweet!
Margaret Fuller
Image
Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The Greeks saw everything in forms which we are trying to ascertain as law, and classify as cause.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The highest ideal man can form of his own powers, is that which he is destined to attain. Whatever the soul knows how to seek, it cannot fail to obtain. This is the law and the prophets. Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find. It is demonstrated it is a maxim.
Margaret Fuller
Image
A man who means to think and write a great deal must, after six and twenty, learn to read with his fingers.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Woman is born for love, and it is impossible to turn her from seeking it.
Margaret Fuller
Image
I stand in the sunny noon of life. Objects no longer glitter in the dews of morning, neither are yet softened by the shadows of evening.
Margaret Fuller
Image
If any individual live too much in relations, so that he becomes a stranger to the resources of his own nature, he falls, after a while, into a distraction, or imbecility, from which he can only be cured by a time of isolation, which gives the renovating fountains time to rise up.
Margaret Fuller
Image
After having admired the women of Rome, say to yourself, 'I too am beautiful!' ... In you I met a real person. I need not give you any other praise.
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
Image
A great work of Art demands a great thought or a thought of beauty adequately expressed. - Neither in Art nor Literature more than in Life can an ordinary thought be made interesting because well-dressed.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller
