Additional quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In philosophy equally as in poetry it is the highest and most useful prerogative of genius to produce the strongest impressions of novelty, while it rescues admitted truths from the neglect caused by the very circumstance of their universal admission.

As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
