More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action - that the end will sanction any means.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A sight to dream of, not to tell!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is nothing insignificant-nothing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Moral obligation is to me so very strong a Stimulant, that in 9 cases out of ten it acts as a Narcotic. The Blow that should rouse, stuns me.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
