Emily Dickinson is a 19th Century American poet. Born in Amherst, Massachusetts on 10 December 1830, she lived a mysterious life secluded from the hustle and bustle of her society. She was more of a hermit who died unmarried at the age of 56. Her poems are noted for their unconventional and innovative style.

I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us — don’t tell!
They’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Emily Dickinson

1.That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

2. Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.

3. I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.

4. Dogs are better than human beings because they know but do not tell.

5. Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.

6. A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.

7. Dying is a wild night and a new road.

8. We meet no Stranger, but Ourself

9. We never know how high we are-Till we are called to rise;-And then, if we are true to plan,-Our statures touch the skies.

10. If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Into his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

11. Where thou art, that is home.

12. Success is counted sweetest By those who ne’er succeed.

13. Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.

14. A wounded deer leaps the highest.
