If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire... - Emily Dickinson

"There's a certain slant of light,On winter afternoons,That oppresses, like the weightOf cathedral tunes."

"Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Circuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightning to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--"

"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."

"Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed."

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