Elizabeth Barrett Browning

What is genius but the power of expressing a new individuality?

Who so loves believes the impossible.

If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.

Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees takes off his shoes.

If you desire faith, then you have faith enough.

The Greeks said grandly in their tragic phrase, 'Let no one be called happy till his death' to which I would add, 'Let no one, till his death, be called unhappy.'

For tis not in mere death that men die most.

Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
