What a difference it makes to come home to a child!
Margaret Fuller
Image
Some degree of expression is necessary for growth, but it should be little in proportion to the full life.
Margaret Fuller
Image
I should never stand alone in this desert world, but that manna would drop from heaven, if I would but rise with every rising sun to gather it.
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
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest. Let this day's performance of the meanest duty be thy religion. Are the stars too distant, pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet, and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller
Image
All great expression, which on a superficial survey seems so easy as well as so simple, furnishes after a while, to the faithful observer, its own standard by which to appreciate it.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
Image
Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
Image
A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as for the body. For human beings are not so constituted that they can live without expansion. If they do not get it in one way, they must in another, or perish.
Margaret Fuller
Image
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
Image
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
Image
If any individual live too much in relations, so that he becomes a stranger to the resources of his own nature, he falls, after a while, into a distraction, or imbecility, from which he can only be cured by a time of isolation, which gives the renovating fountains time to rise up.
Margaret Fuller
Image
We need to hear the excuses men make to themselves for their worthlessness.
Margaret Fuller
Image
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
Margaret Fuller
Image
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
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
We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
Margaret Fuller
Image
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
