More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Some men are like musical glasses to produce their finest tones you must keep them wet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her skin was white as leprosy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The once red leaf, the last of its clan, that dances as often as dance it can.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To doubt has more of faith ... than that blank negation of all such thoughts and feelings which is the lot of the herd of church-and-meeting trotters.
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
Our quaint metaphysical opinions, in an hour of anguish, are like playthings by the bedside of a child deathly sick.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Architecture exhibits the greatest extent of the difference from nature which may exist in works of art. It involves all the powers of design, and is sculpture and painting inclusively. It shows the greatness of man, and should at the same time teach him humility.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without an object cannot live.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Plagiarists are always suspicious of being stolen from, as pickpockets are observed commonly to walk with their hands in their breeches' pockets.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
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
Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A woman in a single state may be happy and may be miserable but most happy, most miserable, these are epithets belonging to a wife.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carved with figures strange and sweet, All made out of the carver's brain.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is a gentle and affectionate thought, that in immeasurable height above us, at our first birth, the wreath of love was woven with sparkling stars for flowers.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is a flat'ning Thought, that the more we have seen, the less we have to say.
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
Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A bitter and perplexed What shall I do? Is worse to man than worse necessity.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
