Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Our own heart, and not other men's opinion, forms our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The Language of the Dream/Night is contrary to that of Waking/Day. It is a language of Images and Sensations, the various dialects of which are far less different from each other, than the various Day-Languages of Nations.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
A grief without a pang, void, dark and drear, A drowsy, stifled, unimpassioned grief, Which finds no natural outlet or relief, In word, or sigh, or tear.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
