Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
The more sparingly we make use of nonsense, the better.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Why is it that so many of us persist in thinking that autumn is a sad season? Nature has merely fallen asleep, and her dreams must be beautiful if we are to judge by her countenance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Prayer is the very highest energy of which the mind is capable.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Mr. Lyell's system of geology is just half the truth, and no more. He affirms a great deal that is true, and he denies a great deal which is equally true which is the general characteristic of all systems not embracing the whole truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Image
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
