More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A poet ought not to pick nature's pocket. Let him borrow, and so borrow as to repay by the very act of borrowing. Examine nature accurately, but write from recollection, and trust more to the imagination than the memory.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To admire on principle is the only way to imitate without loss of originality.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The first man of science was he who looked into a thing, not to learn whether it furnished him with food, or shelter, or weapons, or tools, armaments, or playwiths but who sought to know it for the gratification of knowing.
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.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Intellect really exists in its products its kingdom is here.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How strange and awful is the synthesis of life and death in the gusty winds and falling leaves of an autumnal day!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Great old books of the great old authors are not in everybody's reach and though it is better to know them thoroughly than to know them only here and there, yet it is a good work to give a little to those who have neither time nor means to get his own belief.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
We have to administer the law whether we like it or no.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Works of imagination should be written in very plain language the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.
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
The dwarf sees farther than the giant, when he has the giant's shoulders to mount on.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A stately pleasure-dome decree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
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
