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
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
Image
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.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller
Image
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.
