Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration."

"Poetry: the best words in the best order."

"Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet."

"Silence does not always mark wisdom."

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."
