More quotes by Margaret Fuller
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
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
Margaret Fuller
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
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
Margaret Fuller
Be what you would seem to be.
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
Those have not lived who have not seen Rome.
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
The critic ... should be not merely a poet, not merely a philosopher, not merely an observer, but tempered of all three.
Margaret Fuller
I find no intellect comparable to my own
Margaret Fuller
I know of no inquiry which the impulses of man suggests that is forbidden to the resolution of man to pursue.
Margaret Fuller
Man can never come up to his ideal standard. It is the nature of the immortal spirit to raise that standard higher and higher as it goes from strength to strength, still upward and onward. The wisest and greatest men are ever the most modest.
Margaret Fuller
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth.
Margaret Fuller
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
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
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
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
After having admired the women of Rome, say to yourself, 'I too am beautiful!' ... In you I met a real person. I need not give you any other praise.
Margaret Fuller
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.
Margaret Fuller
Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.
