Additional quotes by Marianne Moore

There never was a war that was
not inward; I must fight till I conquered in myself what
causes war

Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
iron is iron till it is rust.
There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.
I inwardly did nothing.
O Iscariot-like crime!
Beauty is everlasting
and dust is for a time.

Some speak of things we know, as new; And you, of things unknown as things forgot.

My father used to say "Superior people never make long visits." - Marianne Moore
