Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I love all waste And solitary places; where we taste The pleasure of believing what we see Is boundless, as we wish our souls to be.

By all that is sacred in our hopes for the human race, I conjure those who love happiness and truth, to give a fair trial to the vegetable system.

The seed ye sow another reaps; The wealth ye find another keeps; The robes ye weave another wears; The arms ye forge another bears.

And man ... no longer now He slays the lamb that looks him in the face, And horribly devours his mangled flesh. - Percy Bysshe Shelley
