Emily Dickinson Quotes

If the world's a veil of tears, Smile till rainbows span it.

John Cheever was the first writer I ever read who sort of had that similar sensation that, you know, life is nasty, miserable, brutish and short, but that occasionally, there's a certain river of light, a kind word, a telling gesture that sort of illuminates something.

The dark today leads into light tomorrow. There is no endless joy, and yet no endless sorrow.

Even on the poorest streets people could be heard laughing. Some of these streets were completely dark, like black holes, and the laughter that came from who knows where was the only sign, the only beacon that kept residents and strangers from getting lost.

We smile, because this is how we save the world.

Flowers grow out of dark moments.

Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back at you.

Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

People wrote the most beautiful things during the ugliest times.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.

Let us not curse the darkness. Let us kindle little lights.

Even in your darkest moments, you'll think of something that'll crack you up.

Everyone looks so much better when they smile.

No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.

Children remind us to treasure the smallest of gifts, even in the most difficult of times.

Every day you must arise and say to your heart, I have suffered enough and now I must live because the light of the sun must not be wasted, it must not be lost without an eye to appreciate it.

There's no night without stars.

If you look closely enough, amid the merciless and the bitter, there is always the chance that you may find comfort and the promise of something good.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see.

Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.

But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful.

Life continues to be difficult. It always will be because that's just life. But I am so glad I have put some happiness into the world.

No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.

We all find joy and radiance and a reason to move on even in the most dire of circumstances. Even in chaos and madness, there's still a beauty that comes from just the vibrancy of another human spirit.
