More quotes by Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.

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
Put up at the moment of greatest suffering a prayer, not for thy own escape, but for the enfranchisement of some being dear to thee, and the sovereign spirit will accept thy ransom.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
Not one man, in the million, shall I say? no, not in the hundred million, can rise above the belief that woman was made for man.
Margaret Fuller
Man is not made for society, but society is made for man. No institution can be good which does not tend to improve the individual.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
Tremble not before the free man, but before the slave who has chains to break.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
Beware the mediocrity that threatens middle age, its limitation of thought and interest, its dullness of fancy, its too external life, and mental thinness.
Margaret Fuller
I am 'too fiery'... yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything.
Margaret Fuller
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
But the golden-rod is one of the fairy, magical flowers it grows not up to seek human love amid the light of day, but to mark to the discerning what wealth lies hid in the secret caves of earth.
Margaret Fuller
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
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.
