Margaret Fuller: the only objective in life was to grow

"A home is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as for the body. For human beings are not so constituted that they can live without expansion. If they do not get it in one way, they must in another, or perish."

Margaret Fuller

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. Very early I knew that the only objective in life was to grow.”
Margaret Fuller

 “Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman... Nature provides exceptions to every rule.”
Margaret Fuller 

“The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.”
Margaret Fuller
