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

“Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.”

“I many times thought peace had come,”

“I think of love, and you, and my heart grows full and warm, and my breath stands still.”

“If I can stop one Heart from breaking,”

“I died for beauty, but was scarce”

“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.”

“They mutilate they torment each other”

“Who could have foretold”

“But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good.”

“How can the confessor teach/ those who are lost and sick at heart,/ when he himself, among the sinners,/ is worst, and most forsaken?/ It is only a game we play/ with other people's sins./ Besides, everyone knows/ that everyone lies confessing.”

“There is no Space or Time”

“I think poetry should surprise by a fine excess, and not by singularity; it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.”
