More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Veracity does not consist in saying, but in the intention of communicating the truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For compassion a human heart suffices, but for full and adequate sympathy, with joy, an angel's only.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Men, I still think, ought to be weighed not counted.
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
On the Greek stage a drama, or acted story, consisted in reality of three dramas, called together a trilogy, and performed consecutively in the course of one day.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
O let me be awake, my God! Or let me sleep alway.
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
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
Alas! they had been friends in youth But whispering tongues can poison truth, And constancy lives in realms above And life is thorny, and youth is vain And to be wroth with one we love Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Iago's soliloquy - the motive-hunting of a motiveless malignity - how awful it is!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
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
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He prayeth best who loveth best.
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
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
May all the stars hang bright above her dwelling, Silent as though they watched the sleeping earth!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
