Text Quotes
There is no disease, bodily or mental, which adoption of vegetable diet, and pure water has not infallibly mitigated, wherever the experiment has been fairly tried (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The good want power, but to weep barren tears. The powerful goodness want: worse need for them. The wise want love; and those who love want wisdom (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Every fanatic or enemy of virtue is not at liberty to misrepresent the greatest geniuses and most heroic defenders of all that is valuable in this mortal world (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Just a tender sense of my own process, that holds something of my connection with the divine (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Know ye what it is to be a child? It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
There is no real wealth but the labor of people. Were the mountains of gold and silver, the world would not be one grain of corn the richer; no one comfort would be added to the human race (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
True love in this differs from gold and clay, that to divide is not to take away. Love is like understanding, that grows bright, gazing on many truths (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The beauty of the internal nature cannot be so far concealed by its accidental vesture, but that the spirit of its form shall communicate itself to the very disguise and indicate the shape it hides from the manner in which it is worn. A majestic form and graceful motions will express themselves through the most barbarous and tasteless costume (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Life and the world, or whatever we call that which we are and feel, is an astonishing thing. The mist of familiarity obscures from us the wonder of our being. We are struck with admiration at some of its transient modifications, but it is itself the great miracle (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
If he is infinitely good, what reason should we have to fear him? If he is infinitely wise, what doubts should we have concerning our future? If he knows all, why warn him of our needs and fatigue him with our prayers? If he is everywhere, why erect temples to him? If he is just, why fear that he will punish the creatures that he has filled with weaknesses? (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The mind in creation is as a fading coal, which some invisible influence, like an inconstant wind, awakens to transitory brightness; this power arises from within... could this influence be durable in its original purity and force, it is impossible to predict the greatness of the result; but when composition begins, inspiration is already on the decline; and the most glorious poetry that has been communicated to the world is probably a feeble shadow of the original conceptions of the poet (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
There is eloquence in the tongueless wind, and a melody in the flowing brooks and the rustling of the reeds beside them, which by their inconceivable relation to something within the soul, awaken the spirits to a dance of breathless rapture, and bring tears of mysterious tenderness to the eyes, like the enthusiasm of patriotic success, or the voice of one beloved singing to you alone (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Sorrow, terror, anguish, despair itself are often the chosen expressions of an approximation to the highest good. Our sympathy in tragic fiction depends on this principle; tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain. This is the source also of the melancholy which is inseparable from the sweetest melody. The pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
You ought to love all mankind; nay, every individual of mankind. You ought not to love the individuals of your domestic circles less, but to love those who exist beyond it more. Once make the feelings of confidence and of affection universal, and the distinctions of property and power will vanish; nor are they to be abolished without substituting something equivalent in mischief to them, until all mankind shall acknowledge an entire community of rights (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The great secret of morals is love; or a going out of our nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own. A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasure of his species must become his own. The great instrument of moral good is the imagination (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Belief is involuntary; nothing involuntary is meritorious or reprehensible. A man ought not to be considered worse or better for his belief (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Thy words are like a cloud of winged snakes; and yet I pity those they torture not (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
I wield the flail of the lashing hail, and whiten the green plains under, and then again I dissolve it in rain, and laugh as I pass in thunder (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Near them, on the sand, half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, tell that its sculptor well those passions read (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The unquiet republic of the maze of planets, struggling fierce towards heaven’s free wilderness (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Ah! What a divine religion might be found out if charity were really made the principle of it instead of faith! (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Thou comest as the memory of a dream, which now is sad because it hath been sweet (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Through the sunset of hope, like the shapes of a dream, what paradise islands of glory gleam! (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
And the rose like a nymph to the bath addrest, which unveiled the depth of her glowing breast, till, fold after fold, to the fainting air, the soul of her beauty and love lay bare (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
O that my spirit were yon heaven of night, which gazes on thee with its thousand eyes (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
The babe is at peace with the womb, the corpse is at rest within the tomb. We begin in what we end (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
You must come home with me and be my guest; you will give joy to me, and I will do all that is in my power to honour you (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
Obedience indeed is only the pitiful and cowardly egotism of him who thinks that he can do something better than reason (Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes)
