Quotes by Megan Marshall (?)

“Margaret described an oppressive awareness that 鈥淚 have no real hold on life,鈥攏o real, permanent connection with any soul.鈥� She felt disembodied, like 鈥渁 wandering Intelligence, driven from spot to spot.鈥� Perhaps her fate was this: to live alone, to 鈥渓earn all secrets, and fulfil a circle of knowledge,鈥� but never to experience full communion with another being. The prospect 鈥渆nvelopes me as a cold atmosphere. I do not see how I shall go through this destiny. I can, if it is mine; but I do not feel that I can.”
― Megan Marshall, Margaret Fuller: A New American Life

“Why do women love bad men? Margaret had asked the question herself, and answered it, in Woman in the Nineteenth Century. The belief that men have 鈥渟tronger passions,鈥� Margaret theorized, has been 鈥渋nculcated鈥� in women for centuries, and 鈥渢he preference often shown by women for bad men arises .聽.聽. from a confused idea that they are bold and adventurous, acquainted with regions which women are forbidden to explore.”
― Megan Marshall, Margaret Fuller: A New American Life

“And there was a fourth, 鈥渉ighest grade鈥� of marriage, which included the best features of the others, 鈥渉ome sympathies鈥� and 鈥渋ntellectual communion,鈥� but added to these a 鈥渞eligious鈥� dimension, 鈥渆xpressed as a pilgrimage towards a common shrine.鈥� Margaret was careful to specify that by 鈥渞eligion鈥� she meant 鈥渢he thirst for truth and good, not the love of sect and dogma.鈥� She also had in mind a particular style of devotion: a 鈥渞everent love,鈥� a sense that one鈥檚 partner is the 鈥渙nly true鈥� companion, the only other one 鈥渙f all human beings鈥� who can 鈥渦nderstand and interpret .聽.聽. my inner and outer being.”
― Megan Marshall, Margaret Fuller: A New American Life
