Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Painting is the intermediate somewhat between a thought and a thing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Everyone should have two or three hives of bees. Bees are easier to keep than a dog or a cat. They are more interesting than gerbils.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Cant is the parrot talk of a profession.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in Life's noisiest hour, There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee, The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy. You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If a man is not rising upwards to be an angel, depend upon it, he is sinking downwards to be a devil . He cannot stop at the beast. The most savage of men are not beasts they are worse, a great deal worse.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The more sparingly we make use of nonsense, the better.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I have heard of reasons manifold Why Love must needs be blind, But this the best of all I hold,- His eyes are in his mind.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There is small chance of truth at the goal, where there is not childlike humility at the starting-post.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Genius must have talent as its complement and implement, just as in like manner imagination must have fancy. In short, the higher intellectual powers can only act through a corresponding energy of the lower.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold: Her skin was white as leprosy, The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Religion is the most gentlemanly thing in the world. It alone will gentilize, if unmixed with cant.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The fair breeze blew, The white foam flew, And the forrow followed free. We were the first to ever burst into the silent sea.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
There are errors which no wise man will treat with rudeness while there is a probability that they may be the refraction of some great truth still below the horizon.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
In wonder all philosophy began, in wonder it ends, and admiration fill up the interspace but the first wonder is the offspring of ignorance, the last is the parent of adoration.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
For mother's sake the child was dear, and dearer was the mother for the child.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
To leave no interval between the sentence and the fulfillment of it doth beseem God only, the Immutable!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
