Emily Dickinson World Quotations

I took my Power in my Hand -- And went against the World -- 'Twas not so much as David -- had -- But I -- was twice as bold -- I aimed by Pebble -- but Myself Was all the one that fell -- Was it Goliath -- was too large -- Or was myself -- too small?

I miss the grasshoppers much, but suppose it is all for the best. I should become too much attached to a trotting world.

Nothing is the force that renovates the World.

This World is not Conclusion. A Sequel stands beyond- Invisible, as Music- But positive, as Sound.

Portrait The world spreads out on either side no farther than the heart is wide.

I tasted - careless - then - I did not know the Wine Came once a World - Did you? Oh, had you told me so - This Thirst would blister - easier - now

There is no Silence in the Earth - so silent As that endured Which uttered, would discourage Nature And haunt the World.

Pardon My Sanity In A World Insane

This is my letter to the world That never wrote to me

The truth dazzles gradually, or else the world would be blind.

How much can come And much can go, And yet abide the world!
