Mary Oliver Quotes

I held my breath as we do sometimes to stop time when something wonderful has touched us Picture Quote #1

Emerson, I am trying to live, as you said we must, the examined life. But there are days I wish there was less in my head to examine, not to speak of the busy heart Picture Quote #1

And to tell the truth I don't want to let go of the wrists of idleness, I don't want to sell my life for money, I don't even want to come in out of the rain Picture Quote #1

Every morning I walk like this around the pond, thinking: if the doors of my heart ever close, I am as good as dead Picture Quote #1

So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing, and put your lips to the world. And live your life Picture Quote #1

And now you'll be telling stories of my coming back and they won't be false, and they won't be true but they'll be real Picture Quote #1

When will you have a little pity for every soft thing that walks through the world, yourself included Picture Quote #1

I try to be good but sometimes a person just has to break out and act like the wild and springy thing one used to be. It's impossible not to remember wild an want it back Picture Quote #1

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier? Picture Quote #1

It is what I was born for - to look, to listen, to lose myself inside this soft world - to instruct myself over and over Picture Quote #1

Come with me into the woods where spring is advancing, as it does, no matter what, not being singular or particular, but one of the forever gifts, and certainly visible Picture Quote #1

Don't we all die someday and someday comes all too soon? What will you do with your own wild, glorious chance at this thing we call life Picture Quote #1

On poetry: Everyone wants to know what it means. But nobody is asking, How does it feel? Picture Quote #1

Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dak trees that one could easily imagine it's reason for being was nothing more the prettiness Picture Quote #1

I very much wished not to be noticed, and to be left alone, and I sort of succeeded Picture Quote #1

Oh, to love what is lovely, and will not last! What a task to ask of anything, or anyone, yet it is ours, and not by the century or the year, but by the hours Picture Quote #1

Rhythm is one of the most powerful of pleasures, and when we feel a pleasurable rhythm we hope it will continue. When it does, it grows sweeter Picture Quote #1

This is the first, wildest, and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attention Picture Quote #1

Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished Picture Quote #1

Look, I want to love this world as though it's the last chance I'm ever going to get to be alive and know it Picture Quote #1

Belief isn't always easy. But this much I have learned - if not enough else - to live with my eyes open Picture Quote #1

I don't ask for the sights in front of me to change, only the depth of my seeing Picture Quote #1

We shake with joy, we shake with grief. What a time they have, these two housed as they are in the same body Picture Quote #1

I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know, whoever I was, I was alive for a little while Picture Quote #1

I don't know lots of things but I know this: next year when spring flows over the starting point I'll think I'm going to drown in the shimmering miles of it Picture Quote #1

Though I play at the edges of knowing, truly I know our part is not knowing, but looking, and touching, and loving Picture Quote #1

And who will care, who will chide you if you wander away from wherever you are, to look for your soul? Picture Quote #1

Every year everything I have ever learned in my lifetime leads back to this: the fires and the black river of loss whose other side is salvation Picture Quote #1

I saw that worrying had come to nothing and gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang Picture Quote #1

Isn't it wonderful the way the world holds both the deeply serious, and the unexpectedly mirthful? Picture Quote #1
