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
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
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 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
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
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
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
Life is richly worth living, with its continual revelations of mighty woe, yet infinite hope and I take it to my breast.
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
Artists are always young.
Margaret Fuller
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
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
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
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
When the intellect and affections are in harmony when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.
Margaret Fuller
Tremble not before the free man, but before the slave who has chains to break.
Margaret Fuller
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth.
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
