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
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
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
When the intellect and affections are in harmony when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.
