More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Whenever philosophy has taken into its plan religion, it has ended in skepticism and whenever religion excludes philosophy, or the spirit of free inquiry, it leads to willful blindness and superstition.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Persecution is a very easy form of virtue.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Iago's soliloquy - the motive-hunting of a motiveless malignity - how awful it is!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The moving moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide: Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside.

I stood in unimaginable trance And agony that cannot be remembered.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.

It [is] very unfair to influence a child's mind by inculcating any opinions before it [has] come to years of discretion to choose for itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Metaphysics,--the science which determines what can and what cannot be known of being and the laws of being.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never yet did there exist a full faith in the Divine Word (by whom light as well as immortality was brought into the world) which did not expand the intellect, while it purified the heart--which did not multiply the aims and objects of the understanding, while it fixed and simplified those of the desires and passions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And they three passed over the white sands, between the rocks, silent as the shadows.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If you wish to assured of the truth of Christianity, try it. Believe, and if thy belief be right, that insight which gradually transmutes faith into knowledge will be the reward of thy belief.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is a flat'ning Thought, that the more we have seen, the less we have to say.
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
The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places.The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
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
All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
