When the intellect and affections are in harmony; when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep; inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.
Margaret FullerAll greatness affects different minds, each in its own particular kind, and the variations of testimony mark the truth of feeling.
Margaret FullerThe critic ... should be not merely a poet, not merely a philosopher, not merely an observer, but tempered of all three.
Margaret FullerOur friends should be our incentives to right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic, stars. To love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. We love and ought to love one another, not merely for the absolute worth of each, but on account of a mutual fitness of temporary character.
Margaret Fuller
