The opinion I have of the generality of women--who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time, forms a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in.

More quotes by John Keats
All writing is a form of prayer.
John Keats
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
John Keats
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
I have loved the principle of beauty in all things.
John Keats
No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
John Keats
A moment's thought is passion's passing knell.
John Keats
Here lies one whose name was writ in water.
John Keats
Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.... I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
John Keats
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
John Keats
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
John Keats
I find I cannot exist without Poetry
John Keats
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,-- Nature's observatory--whence the dell, In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, May seem a span let me thy vigils keep 'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
John Keats
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats
Time, that aged nurse, Rocked me to patience.
John Keats
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
O for the gentleness of old Romance, the simple planning of a minstrel's song!
John Keats
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
John Keats
Knowledge enormous makes a God of me. Names, deeds, gray legends, dire events, rebellions, Majesties, sovran voices, agonies, Creations and destroyings, all at once Pour into the wide hollows of my brain, And deify me, as if some blithe wine Or bright elixir peerless I had drunk, And so become immortal.
John Keats
