Some Emily Dickinson Quotes:

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

-----

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.

-----

Exclusion.

The soul selects her own society,
Then shuts the door;
On her divine majority
Obtrude no more. 
... 
I've known her from an ample nation 
Choose one; 
Then close the valves of her attention 
Like stone.

-----

A Book.

He ate and drank the precious words, 
His spirit grew robust; 
He knew no more that he was poor, 
Nor that his frame was dust. 
He danced along the dingy days, 
And this bequest of wings 
Was but a book. 
What liberty 
A loosened spirit brings!

-----

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too? 
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell! 
They' banish us, you know. 

How dreary to be somebody! 
How public, like a frog 
To tell your nahme the livelong day 
To an admiring bog!
