More quotes by Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
You see how wide the gulf that separates me from the Christian church.
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
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

Margaret Fuller
