Margaret Fuller
Image
Be what you would seem to be.
Margaret Fuller
Image

Margaret Fuller
Image
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
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
Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.
Margaret Fuller
Image
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
Margaret Fuller
