Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller

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
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
