I am 'too fiery'... yet I wish...

I am 'too fiery'... yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

A great work of Art demands a ...

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 163 quotes

Most marvelous and enviable is...

Most marvelous and enviable is that fecundity of fancy which can adorn whatever it touches, which can invest naked fact and dry reasoning with unlooked-for beauty, make flowers bloom even on the brow of the precipice, and, when nothing better can be had, can turn the very substance of rock itself into moss and lichens. This faculty is uncomparingly the most important for the vivid and attractive exhibition of truth to the minds of men.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

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.

The Greeks saw everything in forms which we are trying to ascertain as law, and classify as cause.

The soul of the great musician can only be expressed in music.

Truth is the nursing mother of genius.

We cannot have expression till there is something to be expressed.

This is the method of genius, to ripen fruit for the crowd by those rays of whose heat they complain.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Who does not observe the immed...

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 163 quotes

Woman is born for love, and it is impossible to turn her from seeking it.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Our friends should be our ince...

Our friends should be our incentives to right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic, stars. To love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. We love and ought to love one another, not merely for the absolute worth of each, but on account of a mutual fitness of temporary character.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.

there is such a rebound from parental influence that it generally seems that the child makes use of the directions given by the parent only to avoid the prescribed path.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Certainly I do not wish that instead of these masters I had read baby books, written down to children, and with such ignorant dullness that they blunt the sense and corrupt the tastes of the still plastic human being. But I do wish that I had read no books at all till later - that I had lived with toys, and played in the open air. Children should not cull the fruits of reflection and observation early, but expand in the sun, and let thoughts come to them. They should not through books antedate their actual experiences

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

The critic ... should be not merely a poet, not merely a philosopher, not merely an observer, but tempered of all three.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

The critic is beneath the make...

The critic is beneath the maker, but is his needed friend. The critic is not a base caviler, but the younger brother of genius. Next to invention is the power of interpreting invention; next to beauty the power of appreciating beauty. And of making others appreciate it ...

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

The highest ideal man can form...

The highest ideal man can form of his own powers, is that which he is destined to attain. Whatever the soul knows how to seek, it cannot fail to obtain. This is the law and the prophets. Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find. It is demonstrated; it is a maxim.

The Arabian horse will not plough well, nor can the plough-horse be rode to play the jereed.
