More quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole."
"Friendship is a sheltering tree."
"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us."
"Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree."
"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."
