The form is mechanic when on any given material we impress a predetermined form. The organic form, on the other hand, is innate, it shapes as it develops itself from within.

More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About, about, in reel and rout the death fires danced at night.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Silence does not always mark wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The whole faculties of man must be exerted in order to call forth noble energies and he who is not earnestly sincere lives in but half his being, self-mutilated, self-paralyzed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Never can true courage dwell with them, Who, playing tricks with conscience, dare not look At their own vices.
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
Thou rising Sun! thou blue rejoicing Sky! Yea! every thing that is and will be free! Bear witness for me, whereso'er ye be, With what deep worship I have still adored The spirit of divinest Liberty.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I dislike the frequent use of the word virtue, instead of righteousness, in the pulpit in prayer or preaching before a Christian community, it sounds too much like pagan philosophy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
During the act of knowledge itself, the objective and subjective are so instantly united, that we cannot determine to which of the two the priority belongs.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Persecution is a very easy form of virtue.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Friends should be weighed, not told who boasts to have won a multitude of friends has never had one.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Flowers are lovely love is flower-like Friendship is a sheltering tree Oh the joys that came down shower-like, Of friendship, love, and liberty, Ere I was old!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The curiosity of an honorable mind willingly rests there, where the love of truth does not urge it farther onward, and the love of its neighbor bids it stop in other words, it willingly stops at the point where the interests of truth do not beckon it onward, and charity cries, Halt!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To be beloved is all I need, And whom I love, I love indeed.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
With no other privilege than that of sympathy and sincere good wishes, I would address an affectionate exhortation to the youthful literati, grounded on my own experience. It will be but short for the beginning, middle, and end converge to one charge: NEVER PURSUE LITERATURE AS A TRADE.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The best part of human language, properly so called, is derived from reflection on the acts of the mind itself.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
