Emily Dickinson

“Forever is composed of nows.”

“Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops at all.”

“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.”

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

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

“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.”
