More quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The man of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Religion! but for thee, prolific fiend, Who peoplest earth with demons, hell with men, And heaven with slaves!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
(Title: To the Moon) Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven, and gazing on the earth, Wandering companionless Among the stars that have a different birth,-- And ever-changing, like a joyless eye That finds no object worth its constancy?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
No one has yet been found resolute enough in dogmatizing to deny that Nature made man equal that society has destroyed this equality is a truth not more incontrovertible.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange
Percy Bysshe Shelley
My neighbour, or my servant, or my child, has done me an injury, and it is just that he should suffer an injury in return. Such is the doctrine which Jesus Christ summoned his whole resources of persuasion to oppose.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I have drunken deep of joy.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Underneath Day's azure eyes, Ocean's nursling, Venice lies, A peopled labyrinth of walls, Amphitrite's destined halls
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Worlds on worlds are rolling ever From creation to decay, Like the bubbles on a river Sparkling, bursting, borne away.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I could lie down like a tired child, And weep away the life of care Which I have borne, and yet must bear.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
All spirits are enslaved which serve things evil
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The intense atom glows A moment, then is quenched in a most cold repose.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Think ye by gazing on each other's eyes To multiply your lovely selves?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
In each human heart terror survives The ravin it has gorged: the loftiest fear All that they would disdain to think were true: Hypocrisy and custom make their minds The fanes of many a worship, now outworn. They dare not devise good for man's estate, And yet they know not that they do not dare.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Chameleons feed on light and air: Poets food is love and fame.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The encomium of one incapable of flattery is indeed flattering.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The pale stars are gone! For the sun, their swift shepherd, To their folds them compelling, In the depths of the dawn, Hastes, in meteor-eclipsing array, and the flee Beyond his blue dwelling, As fawns flee the leopard.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
