Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, all melodies the echoes of that voice, all colours a suffusion from that light.

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For compassion a human heart suffices, but for full and adequate sympathy, with joy, an angel's only.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Show me one couple unhappy merely on account of their limited circumstances, and I will show you ten who are wretched from other causes.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Death but supplies the oil for the inextinguishable lamp of life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The doing evil to avoid an evil cannot be good.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks / Had I from old and young! / Instead of the cross, the Albatross / About my neck was hung.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Deep thinking is attainable only by a man of deep feeling, and all truth is a species of revelation
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To see him act is like reading Shakespeare by flashes of lightning.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
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
In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
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
There are three classes into which all the women past seventy that ever I knew were to be divided: 1. That dear old soul 2. That old woman 3. That old witch.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
