Union is only possible to those who are units. To be fit for relations in time, souls, whether of man or woman, must be able to do without them in the spirit.

More quotes by Margaret Fuller
Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
Margaret Fuller
Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.
Margaret Fuller
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
Margaret Fuller
Who does not observe the immediate glow and security that is diffused over the life of woman, before restless or fretful, by engaging in gardening, building, or the lowest department of art? Here is something that is not routine--something that draws forth life towards the infinite.
Margaret Fuller
Be what you would seem to be.
Margaret Fuller
I am 'too fiery'... yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything.
Margaret Fuller
Those have not lived who have not seen Rome.
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
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
A man who means to think and write a great deal must, after six and twenty, learn to read with his fingers.
Margaret Fuller
We need to hear the excuses men make to themselves for their worthlessness.
Margaret Fuller
The life of the soul is incalculable.
Margaret Fuller
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
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
Beware the mediocrity that threatens middle age, its limitation of thought and interest, its dullness of fancy, its too external life, and mental thinness.
Margaret Fuller
Spirits that have once been sincerely united and tended together a sacred flame, never become entirely stranger to one another's life.
Margaret Fuller
There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.
Margaret Fuller
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
