Carrying on my theme from last week, I think I'm going to write a few more posts exhibiting the quotes of poets this week! So often I think good quotes go overlooked because these people are known only for their beautiful poetry, and not for the wisdom they also possessed. Don't get me wrong- their wisdom shows through in their poetry as well. You know what I mean. There were more layers to who they were than what most people choose to appreciate. Since that's the case; I've decided to go and dig through the quotes of Emily Dickinson first.
I remember reading some of Dickinson's poetry a couple of years ago and analyzing it as a school project for my dad- I also remember deeply enjoying it. She's a wonderful poet who I strongly recommend to anyone taking the time to read this post. Enough rambling, though- let's get into some quotes! "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all." "Saying nothing, sometimes says the most." "Pardon my sanity in a world insane." "Truth is so rare, it is delightful to tell it." "I dwell in possibility." "They might not need me; but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity." "That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."
