Dying is a wild night and a new road.
From Emily Dickinson
Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.
Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Sisters are brittle things. God was penurious with me, which makes me shrewd with Him. One is a dainty sum! One bird, one cage, one flight; one song in those far woods, as yet suspected by faith only!
That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.
After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.
I had no portrait, now, but am small, like the wren; and my hair is bold, like the chestnut bur; and my eyes, like the sherry in the glass, that the guest leaves.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
