More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius must have talent as its complement and implement, just as in like manner imagination must have fancy. In short, the higher intellectual powers can only act through a corresponding energy of the lower.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Not the poem which we have read , but that to which we return , with the greatest pleasure, possesses the genuine power, and claims the name of essential poetry .
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole, its body brevity, and wit its soul.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Where virtue is, sensibility is the ornament and becoming attire of virtue. On certain occasions it may almost be said to become virtue. But sensibility and all the amiable qualities may likewise become, and too often have become, the panders of vice and the instruments of seduction.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Boys and girls, And women, that would groan to see a child Pull off an insect's leg, all read of war, The best amusement for our morning meal.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Architecture exhibits the greatest extent of the difference from nature which may exist in works of art. It involves all the powers of design, and is sculpture and painting inclusively. It shows the greatness of man, and should at the same time teach him humility.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is a gentle and affectionate thought, that in immeasurable height above us, at our first birth, the wreath of love was woven with sparkling stars for flowers.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A Gothic church is a petrified religion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have heard of reasons manifold Why Love must needs be blind, But this the best of all I hold,- His eyes are in his mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies and he who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half his being, self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Works of imagination should be written in very plain language the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The form is mechanic when on any given material we impress a predetermined form. The organic form, on the other hand, is innate, it shapes as it develops itself from within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
