Quote of the Day (Margaret Fuller, on Avoiding Falsehoods)



“It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.”—Author, journalist, critic, and pioneering feminist Margaret Fuller (1810-1850), Notes from Cambridge, Massachusetts (July 1842) published in Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli (1852), Vol. II
