More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius of the highest kind implies an unusual intensity of the modifying power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The necessity for external government to man is in an inverse ratio to the vigor of his self-government. Where the last is most complete, the first is least wanted. Hence, the more virtue the more liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Trochee trips from long to short From long to long in solemn sort Slow Spondee stalks.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tranquillity! thou better name Than all the family of Fame.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The artist must imitate that which is within the thing, that which is active through form and figure, and discourses to us by symbols.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
...in consequence of the film of familiarity and selfish solicitude, we have eyes yet see not, ears that hear not, and hearts that neither feel nor understand.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How inimitably graceful children are in general-before they learn to dance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How strange and awful is the synthesis of life and death in the gusty winds and falling leaves of an autumnal day!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths, all these have vanished They live no longer in the faith of reason.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fair breeze blew, The white foam flew, And the forrow followed free. We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.
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
Our quaint metaphysical opinions, in an hour of anguish, are like playthings by the bedside of a child deathly sick.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Motives are symptoms of weakness, and supplements for the deficient energy of the living principle, the law within us. Let them then be reserved for those momentous acts and duties in which the strongest and best-balanced natures must feel themselves deficient, and where humility no less than prudence prescribes deliberation.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The more sparingly we make use of nonsense, the better.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never can true courage dwell with them, Who, playing tricks with conscience, dare not look At their own vices.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
My eyes make pictures when they are shut.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
