More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth would, probably, be far more interesting and contain events of greater moment than all the three score and ten years that follow it.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first duty of a wise advocate is to convince his opponents that he understands their arguments, and sympathies with their just feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That only can with propriety be styled refinement which, by strengthening the intellect, purifies the manners.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil . He cannot stop at the beast. The most savage of men are not beasts they are worse, a great deal worse.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
When thieves come, I bark when gallants, I am still - So perform both my master's and mistress's will.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is no such thing as a worthless book though there are some far worse than worthless no book that is not worth preserving, if its existence may be tolerated as there may be some men whom it may be proper to hang, but none should be suffered to starve.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The nightmare Life-in-Death was she.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
