More quotes by Emily Dickinson

"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!"
"Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency."
"The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience."
"Kein Schiff trägt uns besser in ferne Länder, als ein Buch."
"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."
