Emily Dickinson

Dying is a wild night and a new road. ”

Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent. ”

We were never intimate mother and children while she was our mother - but... when she became our child, the affection came. ”

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

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

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

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all. ”

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

Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath. ”

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