Emily Dickinson

"Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency."

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

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

"How happy is the little stoneThat rambles in the road alone,And doesn't care about careers,And exigencies never fears;Whose coat of elemental brownA passing universe put on;And independent as the sun,Associates or glows alone,Fulfilling absolute decreeIn casual simplicity."

"I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine."

"Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality."

"He ate and drank the precious words,His spirit grew robust;He knew no more that he was poor,Nor that his frame was dust.He danced along the dingy days,And this bequest of wingsWas but a book. What libertyA loosened spirit brings!"

"She dealt her pretty words like Blades --How glittering they shone --And every One unbared a NerveOr wantoned with a Bone --She never deemed -- she hurt --That -- is not Steel's Affair --A vulgar grimace in the Flesh --How ill the Creatures bear --To Ache is human -- not polite --The Film upon the eyeMortality's old Custom --Just locking up -- to Die."

"The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care"

"Faith—is the Pierless BridgeSupporting what We seeUnto the Scene that We do not—Too slender for the eyeIt bears the Soul as boldAs it were rocked in SteelWith Arms of Steel at either side—It joins—behind the VeilTo what, could We presumeThe Bridge would cease to beTo Our far, vacillating FeetA first Necessity."

"Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough."

"A great hope fellYou heard no noiseThe ruin was within."

"Morning without you is a dwindled dawn."

"I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven."

"My friends are my estate."

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

"Forever is composed of nows."

"That I shall love always, I argue theethat love is life,and life hath immortality"

"I dwell in possibility."

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