Emily Dickinson

Forever — is composed of Nows —

A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.

Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.

That after Horror — that 'twas Us — that passed —

The only way to be immortal is to die.

A Book is the best of Friends — The company of books is profitable.

The way to know a Rose is to smell it.

The Soul's Superior — to her House —

The pedigree of the Horse is not important. It is the Horse that matters.

The Frost of Death was on the Pane —

The only Monarch in the world is the King of the Air.

The Sun — just touched the Morning — The Morning — Happy thing — Supposed that He had come to dwell — And Life — would all be Spring —

To be of use is the only way to be happy.

They say that 'time assuages' — Time never did assuage — An actual suffering strengthens As Sinews do, with age —

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

I’m nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too?

The brain is wider than the sky.

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain.

Because I could not stop for Death—He kindly stopped for me.
