“It is always what I have already said: always the wish that you may find patience enough in yourself to endure, and simplicity enough to believe; that you may acquire more and more confidence in that which is difficult, and in your solitude among others.

“I live my life in widening circle”

“Amid these fading and decaying things, be the glass that rings out as it's breaking.”

“She who reconciles the ill-matched threads”

“Every angel is terrifying.”

“The Soul selects her own Society—”

“I once broke up with a boy because he wrote me an awful poem.”
