More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

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
And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
I do not call the sod under my feet my country but language-religion-government-blood-identity in these makes men of one country.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

All men, even the most surly are influenced by affection.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The form is mechanic when on any given material we impress a predetermined form. The organic form, on the other hand, is innate, it shapes as it develops itself from within.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No sound is dissonant which tells of life.
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
That agony returns And till my ghastly tale is told, This heart within me burns.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What! Did Sir W[alter] R[aleigh] believe that a male and female ounce (and, if so, why not two tigers and lions, etc?) would have produced, in a course of generations, a cat, or a cat a lion? This is Darwinizing with a vengeance.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
