More quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
As belief is a passion of the mind, no degree of criminality is attachable to disbelief.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The desire of the moth for the star, Of the night for the morrow, The devotion to something afar From the sphere of our sorrow.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Nature rejects the monarch, not the man the subject, not the citizen... The man of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Truth has always been found to promote the best interests of mankind.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
To hope till hope creates From its own wreck the thing it contemplates.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
And many more Destructions played In this ghastly masquerade, All disguised, even to the eyes, Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
It is true that the reluctance to abstain from animal food, in those who have been long accustomed to its stimulus, is so great in some persons of weak minds, as to be scarcely overcome but this is far from bringing any argument in its favour
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love Love - though he has wings, And like light can flee, But above all other things, Spirit, I love thee - Thou art love and life! Oh come, Make once more my heart thy home.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Teas, Where small talk dies in agonies.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
There Is No God. This negation must be understood solely to affect a creative Deity. The hypothesis of a pervading Spirit co-eternal with the universe remains unshaken.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law divine, In one spirit meet and mingle-Why not I with thine?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
What is Freedom? ye can tell That which slavery is, too well For its very name has grown To an echo of your own.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Thus suicidal selfishness, that blights The fairest feelings of the opening heart, Is destined to decay, whilst from the soil Shall spring all virtue, all delight, all love, And judgment cease to wage unnatural war With passion's unsubduable array.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I consider poetry very subordinate to moral and political science.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Spirit, Patience, Gentleness, All that can adorn and bless Art thou let deeds, not words, express Thine exceeding loveliness.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Let there be light! Said Liberty , And like sunrise from the sea, Athens arose!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
