"Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home
unless it contains food and fire for the mind
as well as the body."

A Sunday Quote
Margaret Fuller (1810-1850) was one of the great American intellectuals of the nineteenth century, no doubt because she followed her own advice:
"Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd
like it put more simply - a house is no home
unless it contains food and fire for the mind
as well as the body."
"Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home
unless it contains food and fire for the mind
as well as the body."
