Margaret Fuller Quote

I am 'too fiery' … yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.


As quoted by Joseph Jay Deiss in "Humanity, said Edgar Allan Poe, is divided into Men, Women, and Margaret Fuller" in American Heritage magazine, Vol. 23, Issue 5 (August 1972).


I am 'too fiery' … yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.

I am 'too fiery' … yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.

I am 'too fiery' … yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.

I am 'too fiery' … yet I wish to be seen as I am, and would lose all rather than soften away anything.
