Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The faults of great authors are generally excellences carried to an excess.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Some persons have contended that mathematics ought to be taught by making the illustrations obvious to the senses. Nothing can be more absurd or injurious: it ought to be our never-ceasing effort to make people think, not feel.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And to be wroth with one we love…Doth work like madness in the brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ignorance seldom vaults into knowledge, but passes into it through an intermediate state of obscurity, even as night into day through twilight.
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
Shakespeare knew the human mind, and its most minute and intimate workings, and he never introduces a word, or a thought, in vain or out of place if we do not understand him, it is our own fault.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Facts are not truths they are not conclusions they are not even premises, but in the nature and parts of premises.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius of the highest kind implies an unusual intensity of the modifying power.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Prayer is the very highest energy of which the mind is capable.
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
Some men are like musical glasses to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
