More quotes by Emily Dickinson

"I died for beauty but was scarceAdjusted in the tomb,When one who died for truth was lainIn an adjoining room.He questioned softly why I failed?"For beauty,"I replied."And I for truth, the two are one;We brethren are,"he said.And so, as kinsmen met a night,We talked between the rooms,Until the moss had reached our lips,And covered up our names."
"I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality."
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain."
"Forever is composed of nows."
"Faith is a fine inventionWhen gentlemen can see,But microscopes are prudentIn an emergency."
