More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
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
Love is the admiration and cherishing of the amiable qualities of the beloved person, upon the condition of yourself being the object of their action.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A spring of love gush'd from my heart, And I bless'd them unaware.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty That had their haunts in dale or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths, all these have vanished They live no longer in the faith of reason.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In the deepest night of trouble and sorrow God gives us so much to be thankful for that we need never cease our singing. With all our wisdom and foresight we can take a lesson in gladness and gratitude from the happy bird that sings all night, as if the day were not long enough to tell its joy.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
How inimitably graceful children are in general-before they learn to dance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair The bees are stirring, birds are on the wing, And Winter slumbering in the open air, Wears on his smiling face a dream of spring.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Facts are not truths they are not conclusions they are not even premises, but in the nature and parts of premises.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not wish you to act from these truths no, still and always act from your feelings only meditate often on these truths that sometime or other they may become your feelings.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The artist must imitate that which is within the thing, that which is active through form and figure, and discourses to us by symbols.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
About, about, in reel and rout the death fires danced at night.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I am sure from my experience of juries that, in a criminal case especially, they will obey the law as declared by the Judge they will take the law from the Judge, whether they like it or do not like it, and apply it honestly to the facts before them.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The present system of taking oaths is horrible. It is awfully absurd to make a man invoke God's wrath upon himself, if he speaks false it is, in my judgment, a sin to do so.
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
The nightmare Life-in-Death was she.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Shakespeare knew the human mind, and its most minute and intimate workings, and he never introduces a word, or a thought, in vain or out of place if we do not understand him, it is our own fault.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I love being superior to myself better than [to] my equals.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
