Danh ngôn của Emily Dickinson (Sứ mệnh: 9)

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.
Forever is composed of nows.
How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude!
Celebrity is the chastisement of merit and the punishment of talent.
I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
Fortune befriends the bold.
Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.
Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon.
If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.
Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.
The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
They might not need me; but they might. I'll let my head be just in sight; a smile as small as mine might be precisely their necessity.
Where thou art, that is home.
Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.
Luck is not chance, it's toil; fortune's expensive smile is earned.
I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.
Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.
Truth is so rare that it is delightful to tell it.
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.

There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away nor any coursers like a page of prancing Poetry.
Tell the truth, but tell it slant.
I dwell in possibility.
Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.
My friends are my estate.
That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.
Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.
Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.
I am growing handsome very fast indeed! I expect I shall be the belle of Amherst when I reach my 17th year. I don't doubt that I shall have perfect crowds of admirers at that age. Then how I shall delight to make them await my bidding, and with what delight shall I witness their suspense while I make my final decision.
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!
Nature is our eldest mother; she will do no harm.
