Most Beautiful Emily Dickinson Quotes




“I have no life but this-
To lead it here-
Nor any death - but lest
Dispelled from there-
Nor tie to earths to come-
Nor action new-
Except through this extent-
The realm of you.” 




“Much Madness is divinest Sense --
To a discerning Eye --
Much Sense -- the starkest Madness --
'Tis the Majority.


“It was not death, for I stood up,
And all the dead lie down;
It was not night, for all the bells
Put out their tongues, for noon"


“Faith—is the Pierless Bridge
Supporting what We see
Unto the Scene that We do not—
Too slender for the eye"


“The Heart is the Capital of the Mind—
The Mind is a single State—
The Heart and the Mind together make
A single Continent—"

“The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more.” 


“I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know".


“I wonder if it hurts to live,
And if they have to try,
And whether, could they choose between,
They would not rather die.” 


“A power of Butterfly must be -
The Aptitude to fly
Meadows of Majesty concedes
And easy Sweeps of Sky -” 


“A Word that Breathes Distinctly
Has not the Power to Die” 


“Tell all the truth but tell it slant,
Success in circuit lies,
Too bright for our infirm delight
The truth's superb surprise;"


“Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God's residence is next to min,
His furniture is love.” 



I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness...” 


“We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies."


“Hunger is a way
Of standing outside windows
The entering takes away.”


“Lest Love should value less
What loss would value more,
Had it the stricken privilege ---
It cherishes before.” 


“I NEVER lost as much but twice,
And that was in the sod;
Twice have I stood a beggar
Before the door of God!"


“Pain - has an Element of Blank
It cannot recollect
When it begun - or if there were
a time when it was not -
It has no Future - but itself -
Its Infinite contain
Its Past - enlightened to perceive
New Periods - of Pain.” 
"

“We journey to the day,
And tell each other how we sang
To keep the dark away.” 


“If the stillness is Volcanic
In the human face
When upon a pain Titanic
Features keep their place-"


"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. "


“It might be lonelier
Without the Loneliness -
I’m so accustomed to my Fate -
Perhaps the Other - Peace –"


“They say that “Time assuages” -
Time never did assuage -
An actual suffering strengthens
As Sinews do, with age -
 "Time is a Test of Trouble -
But not a Remedy -
If such it prove, it prove too
There was no Malady”
 

“I stepped from plank to plank
So slow and cautiously;
The stars about my head I felt,
About my feet the sea.

"I knew not but the next
Would be my final inch,—
This gave me that precarious gait
Some call experience.” 


 “Hope is the thing with feathers
"That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.” 


 
“Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.” 



“Experiment escorts us last-
His pungent company
will not allow an axiom
An opportunity” 


“Look back on Time, with kindly eyes -
He doubtless did his best -
How softly sinks that trembling sun
In Human Nature's West -”
