Top 15 E. E. Cummings Quotes

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

To be nobody but
yourself in a world
which is doing its best day and night to make you like
everybody else means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.

Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.

Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward.

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness

Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new.

Lovers alone wear sunlight.

listen: there’s a hell
of a good universe next door; let’s go

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes sense.
