Emily Dickinson

How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!

Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

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

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

Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.

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

I dwell in possibility.

A wounded deer leaps the highest.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

Saying nothing... sometimes says the most.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

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

Forever is composed of nows.

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.

Fortune befriends the bold.

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

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