Top 60 Quotes by Emily Dickinson

Nature is our eldest mother; she will do no harm.

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.

If fame belonged to me, I could not escape her; if she did not, the longest day would pass me on the chase, and the approbation of my dog would forsake me then. My barefoot rank is better.

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.
