Quotes by Emily Dickinson

Anger as soon as fed is dead-
'Tis starving makes it fat.

Poems, Second Series, 1891
There's a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons-- That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes--
No. 258
A little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King.
No. 1333
We turn not older with years, but newer every day.
They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed.
One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.

My life closed twice before its' close-
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me. So huge, so hopeless to concieve As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.
My friends are my estate.
I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.
I dwell in possibility...
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.
Forever is composed of nows.
Anger as soon as fed is dead - 'Tis starving makes it fat.
