Everywhere the fatal spirit of...

Everywhere the fatal spirit of imitation, of reference to European standards, penetrates and threatens to blight whatever of original growth might adorn the soil.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Tremble not before the free ma...

Tremble not before the free man, but before the slave who has chains to break.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

... the Power who gave a power...

... the Power who gave a power, by its mere existence, signifies that it must be brought out towards perfection.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Preparations are good in life,...

Preparations are good in life, prologues ruinous.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

The persons whom you have idol...

The persons whom you have idolized can never, in the end, be ungrateful, and, probably, at the time of retreat they still do justice to your heart. But, so long as you must draw persons too near you, a temporary recoil is sure to follow. It is the character striving to defend itself from a heating and suffocating action upon it.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Spirits that have once been si...

Spirits that have once been sincerely united and tended together a sacred flame, never become entirely stranger to one another's life.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

I fear I have not one good wor...

I fear I have not one good word to say this fair morning, though the sun shines so encouragingly on the distant hills and gentle river and the trees are in their festive hues. I am not festive, though contented. When obliged to give myself to the prose of life, as I am on this occasion of being established in a new home I like to do the thing, wholly and quite, - to weave my web for the day solely from the grey yarn.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

It was not meant that the soul...

It was not meant that the soul should cultivate the earth, but that the earth should educate and maintain the soul.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Two persons love in one another the future good which they aid one another to unfold.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

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 163 quotes

Tragedy is always a mistake; a...

Tragedy is always a mistake; and the loneliness of the deepest thinker, the widest lover, ceases to be pathetic to us so soon as the sun is high enough above the mountains.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

A man who means to think and write a great deal must, after six and twenty, learn to read with his fingers.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

It should be remarked that, as...

It should be remarked that, as the principle of liberty is better understood, and more nobly interpreted, a broader protest is made in behalf of women. As men become aware that few have had a fair chance, they are inclined to say that no women have had a fair chance.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Plants of great vigor will alm...

Plants of great vigor will almost always struggle into blossom, despite impediments. But there should be encouragement, and a free genial atmosphere for those of more timid sort, fair play for each in its own kind.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

All around us lies what we nei...

All around us lies what we neither understand nor use. Our capacities, our instincts for this our present sphere are but half developed. Let us confine ourselves to that till the lesson be learned; let us be completely natural; before we trouble ourselves with the supernatural. I never see any of these things but I long to get away and lie under a green tree and let the wind blow on me. There is marvel and charm enough in that for me.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

There are noble books but one wants the breath of life sometimes. And I see no divine person. I myself am more divine than any I see I think that is enough to say about them...

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

Put up at the moment of greatest suffering a prayer, not for thy own escape, but for the enfranchisement of some being dear to thee, and the sovereign spirit will accept thy ransom.

Margaret Fuller 163 quotes

We doubt not the destiny of our country that she is to accomplish great things for human nature, and be the mother of a nobler race than the world has yet known. But she has been so false to the scheme made out at her nativity, that it is now hard to say which way that destiny points.
