About This Quote
The poet, Emily Dickinson, once said, “Poets, you always write about women worth dying for. Write, for a change, something about the ones worth living for!” This can be interpreted in many ways. Perhaps she was trying to tell us that the world is too much in love with death, when in fact it needs to be more in love with life. Perhaps she was trying to tell us that the world is too much in love with women, when in fact it needs to be more in love with men.
Perhaps she was trying to tell us that the world is too much in love with writing verse, when in fact it needs to be more in love with doing things that truly matter. Regardless of the interpretation we choose, there is no denying that this quote shows that women are important and it shows that we need to put an emphasis on them and their lives.
