More quotes by Margaret Fuller
The only woman to whom it has been given to touch what is decisive in the present world and to have a presentiment of the world of the future.
Margaret Fuller

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

Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller
Artists are always young.
Margaret Fuller
A great work of Art demands a great thought or a thought of beauty adequately expressed. - Neither in Art nor Literature more than in Life can an ordinary thought be made interesting because well-dressed.
Margaret Fuller
I find no intellect comparable to my own
Margaret Fuller
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Margaret Fuller
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
Margaret Fuller
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
Margaret Fuller
Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.
Margaret Fuller
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
