More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All nature seems at work.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Health is a great blessing--competence obtained by honorable industry is a great blessing--and a great blessing it is to have kind, faithful, and loving friends and relatives but, that the greatest of all blessings, as it is the most ennobling of all privileges, is to be indeed a Christian.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The wise only possess ideas the greater part of mankind are possessed by them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For I often please myself with the fancy, now that I may have saved from oblivion the only striking passage in a whole volume, and now that I may have attracted notice to a writer undeservedly forgotten.
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
Often do the spirits stride on before the event and in today already walks tomorrow.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Creation rather than painting, or if painting, yet such, and with such co-presence of the whole picture flash'd at once upon the eye, as the sun paints in a camera obscura. (Describing his poetic ideal, 1817)
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Remorse is as the heart in which it grows If that be gentle, it drops balmy dews Of true repentance but if proud and gloomy, It is the poison tree, that pierced to the inmost, Weeps only tears of poison.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What is one man's gain is another's loss.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first duty of a wise advocate is to convince his opponents that he understands their arguments, and sympathies with their just feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How well he fell asleepl Like some proud river, widening toward the sea Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius is the power of carrying the feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Novels are to love as fairy tales to dreams.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A Gothic church is a petrified religion.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Mr. Mum's Rudesheimer And the church of St. Geryon Are the two things alone That deserve to be known In the body-and-soul-stinking town of Cologne.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable. It is no doubt a sublimer effort of genius than the Greek style but then it depends much more on execution for its effect.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
