More quotes by Margaret Fuller
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
Margaret Fuller
Union is only possible to those who are units. To be fit for relations in time, souls, whether of man or woman, must be able to do without them in the spirit.
Margaret Fuller
The critic ... should be not merely a poet, not merely a philosopher, not merely an observer, but tempered of all three.
Margaret Fuller
Everywhere the fatal spirit of imitation, of reference to European standards, penetrates and threatens to blight whatever of original growth might adorn the soil.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
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
Let no one dare to call another mad who is not himself willing to rank in the same class for every perversion and fault of judgment. Let no one dare aid in punishing another as criminal who is not willing to suffer the penalty due to his own offenses.
Margaret Fuller
A man who means to think and write a great deal must, after six and twenty, learn to read with his fingers.
Margaret Fuller
There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.
Margaret Fuller
Spirits that have once been sincerely united and tended together a sacred flame, never become entirely stranger to one another's life.
Margaret Fuller
Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.
Margaret Fuller
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
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
Margaret Fuller
Tremble not before the free man, but before the slave who has chains to break.
Margaret Fuller
In order that she may be able to give her hand with dignity, she must be able to stand alone.
Margaret Fuller
We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
Margaret Fuller
Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
Margaret Fuller
Man can never come up to his ideal standard. It is the nature of the immortal spirit to raise that standard higher and higher as it goes from strength to strength, still upward and onward. The wisest and greatest men are ever the most modest.
Margaret Fuller
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
Margaret Fuller
To one who has enjoyed the full life of any scene, of any hour, what thoughts can be recorded about it seem like the commas and semicolons in the paragraph-mere stops.
