More quotes by Margaret Fuller
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.
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
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.
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
Preparations are good in life, prologues ruinous.
Margaret Fuller
What a difference it makes to come home to a child!
Margaret Fuller
... the Power who gave a power, by its mere existence, signifies that it must be brought out towards perfection.
Margaret Fuller
You see how wide the gulf that separates me from the Christian church.
Margaret Fuller
I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.
Margaret Fuller
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth.
Margaret Fuller
It is a vulgar error that love, a love, to woman is her whole existence she is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy
Margaret Fuller
