Marianne Moore
It is human nature to stand in the middle of a thing.
Marianne Moore
All are / naked, none is safe.
Marianne Moore
Maine should be pleased that its animal is not a waverer, and rather than fight, lets the primed quill fall. Shallow oppressor, intruder, insister, you have found a resister.
Marianne Moore
Men are monopolists of stars, garters, buttons and other shining baubles- unfit to be the guardians of another person's happiness.
Marianne Moore

Marianne Moore
Blessed the geniuses who know / that egomania is not a duty.
Marianne Moore

Marianne Moore
Which of us has not been stunned by the beauty of an animal's skin or its flexibility in motion?
Marianne Moore
In a poem the excitement has to maintain itself. I am governed by the pull of the sentence as the pull of a fabric is governed by gravity.
Marianne Moore
You're not free until you've been made captive by supreme belief.
Marianne Moore
[The] whirlwind fife-and-drum of the storm bends the salt marsh grass, disturbs stars in the sky and the star on the steeple it is a privilege to see so much confusion.
Marianne Moore
Sun and moon and day and night and man and beast each with a splendor which man in all his vileness cannot set aside each with an excellence!
Marianne Moore
The power of the visible is the invisible.
Marianne Moore
When one is frank, one's very presence is a compliment.
Marianne Moore
