Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The man
Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys:
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches, and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame,
A mechanised automaton.

My father Time is weak and gray With waiting for a better day; See how idiot-like he stands, Fumbling with his palsied hands!

From the great morning of the world when first God dawned on Chaos.

All were fat; and well they might Be in admirable plight, For one by one, and two by two, He tossed them human hearts to chew. - Percy Bysshe Shelley
