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

“Over the fence—”

“Oh Susie, I often think that I will try to tell you how very dear you are, and how I'm watching for you, but the words won't come, though the tears will, and I sit down disappointed. Yet, darling, you know it all-- then why do I seek to tell you? I do not know. In thinking of those I love, my reason is all gone from me, and I do fear sometimes that I must make a hospital for the hopelessly insane, and chain myself up there so I won't injure you.”

“Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn”

“The Soul selects her own Society—”

“We never know we go,—when we are going”

“One need not be a chamber to be haunted.”

“Science ask facts and religion ask faith, humans are confused between life and death.”

“I searched for my own heart”

“In a field”

“When I die, don't come, I wouldn't want a leaf”

“Watch carefully”

“My brother once showed me a piece of quartz that contained, he said, some trapped water older than all the seas in our world. He held it up to my ear. ‘Listen,’ he said, ‘life and no escape.”
