More From Anne Sullivan Macy

All knowledge is of itself of some value. there is nothing so minute or inconsiderable, that i would not rather know it than not. in the same manner, all power, of whatever sort, is of itself desirable. a man would not submit to learn to hem a ruffle, of his wife, or his wife's maid; but if a mere wish could attain it, he would rather wish to be able to hem a ruffle.

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

Light Precious Stones Genius
What we call vice in our neighbor may be nothing less than a crude virtue. to him who knows nothing more of precious stones than he can learn from a daily contemplation of his breastpin, a diamond in the mine must be a very uncompromising sort of stone.

O naked flower of my lips, you lie! i await a thing unknown or perhaps, unaware of the mystery and your cries you give, o lips, the supreme tortured moans of a childhood groping among its reveries to sort out finally its cold precious stones.
