My heart is warm with friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.

— Edna St. Vincent Millay

More quotes by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Many a bard's untimely death
Lends unto his verses breath;
Here's a song was never sung:
Growing old is dying young.

Yet many a man is making friends with death
Even as I speak, for lack of love alone.

Sonnet XXX from Fatal Interview (1931)

Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand;
Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

And reaching up my hand to try,
I screamed to feel it touch the sky.

Renascence (1912)

After all, my earstwhile dear,
My no longer cherished,
Need we say it was not love,
Now that love is perished?
