6 Margaret Fuller Quotes on Life

Margaret Fuller quotes on life

23. Your prudence, my wise friend, allows too little room for the mysterious whisperings of life.

24. You are intellect, I am life!

45. I stand in the sunny noon of life. Objects no longer glitter in the dews of morning, neither are yet softened by the shadows of evening. Every spot is seen, every chasm revealed. Climbing the dusty hill, some fair effigies that once stood for symbols of human destiny have been broken; those I still have with me show defects in this broad light. Yet enough is left, even by experience, to point distinctly to the glories of that destiny; faint, but not to be mistaken streaks of the future day. I can say with the bard, 'Though many have suffered shipwreck, still beat noble hearts.' Always the soul says to us all, Cherish your best hopes as a faith, and abide by them in action. Such shall be the effectual fervent means to their fulfilment.

69. Existence is as deep a verity: Without the dual, where is unity? And the 'I am'' cannot forbear to be; But from its primal nature forced to frame Mysteries, destinies of various name, Is forced to give that it has taught to claim.

82. Triune, shaping, restless power, Life-flow from life's natal hour, No music chords are in thy sound; By some thou'rt but a rattle found; Yet, without thy ceaseless motion, To ice would turn their dead devotion.

96. Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
