Poetry Quote by Emily Dickinson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care”

“Tell all the truth but tell it slant.”

“Much Madness is Divinest Sense, to a Discerning Eye....”

“I'm nobody! Who are you?”

“I many times thought peace had come,”

“The sun just touched the morning;”

“But for me, dinner at a fine restaurant was the ultimate luxury. It was the very height of civilization. For what was civilization but the intellect's ascendancy out of the doldrums of necessity (shelter, sustenance and survival) into the ether of the finely superfluous (poetry, handbags and haute cuisine)? So removed from daily life was the whole experience that when all was rotten to the core, a fine dinner could revive the spirits. If and when I had twenty dollars left to my name, I was going to invest it right here in an elegant hour that couldn't be hocked.”

“L'union libre [Freedom of Love]”

“I enjoy melancholic music and art. They take me to places I don't normally get to go.”

“And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie,”

“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;”

“كوته نكنم زدامنت دست - ور خود بزني به تيغ تيزم”
