(At the request of Lizajustme)
For those who don't know her: she was an American poetess, who lived in the nineteenth century. If you've never read any of her poems, make sure to look them up, they are beautiful! <3

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

"Forever is composed of nows." 

----------------------

"That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet."

----------------------

"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 feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?" 

----------------------

"Truth is so rare, it is delightful to tell it."

----------------------

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

----------------------

"Saying nothing sometimes says the most." 

----------------------

"The dearest ones of time, the strongest friends of the soul -- BOOKS."

----------------------

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

----------------------

"I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine."
