More From Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- "The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness."
- "Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who’s sorry for a gnat or girl?"
- "For tis not in mere death that men die most."

They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity."― James Buchan
- "Concerns about the size and role of government are what seem to leave reformers stammering and speechless in town-hall meetings. The right wants to have a debate over fundamental principles; elected Democrats seem incapable of giving it to them."― Thomas Frank
