Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
One thought includes all thought, in the sense that a grain of sand includes the universe.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ancestral voices prophesying war.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Intellect really exists in its products its kingdom is here.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Experience informs us that the first defence of weak minds is to recriminate.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alone, Alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never saint took pity on My soul in agony
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Method means primarily a way or path of transit. From this we are to understand that the first idea of method is a progressive transition from one step to another in any course. If in the right course, it will be the true method if in the wrong, we cannot hope to progress.
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
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole, its body brevity, and wit its soul.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome, he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration, that does his heart good, hasten to give it the widest circulation that newspapers and magazines, penny and halfpenny, can afford.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Within today, tomorrow is already walking.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The act of praying is the very highest energy of which the human mind is capable praying, that is, with the total concentration of the faculties. The great mass of worldly men and of learned men are absolutely incapable of prayer.
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
