The great secret of morals is...

The great secret of morals is Love; or a going out of our own nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

As long as skies are blue, an...

As long as skies are blue, and fields are green Evening must usher night, night urge the morrow, Month follow month with woe, and year wake year to sorrow

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Chastity is a monkish and eva...

Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality; it strikes at the root of all domestic happiness, and consigns more than half of the human race to misery.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Rulers, who neither see, nor ...

Rulers, who neither see, nor feel, nor know, but leech-like to their fainting country cling, till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow, - a people starved and stabbed in the untilled field.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

I never was attached to that ...

I never was attached to that great sect, Whose doctrine is that each one should select Out of the crowd a mistress or a friend, And all the rest, though fair and wise, commend, To cold oblivion.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Senseless is the breast and c...

Senseless is the breast and cold
Which relenting love would fold;
Bloodless are the veins and chill
Which the pulse of pain did fill;
Every little living nerve
That from bitter words did swerve
Round the tortur'd lips and brow,
Are like sapless leaflets now
Frozen upon December's bough.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

He wanders, like a day-appear...

He wanders, like a day-appearing dream, Through the dim wildernesses of the mind; Through desert woods and tracts, which seem Like ocean, homeless, boundless, unconfined.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Men must reap the things they...

Men must reap the things they sow, Force from force must ever flow.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Among true and real friends, ...

Among true and real friends, all is common; and were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friend.

Less oft peace in Shelley's mind, Than calm in waters seen.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

I love tranquil solitude, And...

I love tranquil solitude, And such society As is quiet, wise, and good; Between thee and me What difference? but thou dost possess The things I seek, not love them less.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Rough wind, the moanest loud ...

Rough wind, the moanest loud Grief too sad for song; Wild wind, when sullen cloud Knells all the night long; Sad storm, whose tears are vain, Bare woods, whose branches strain, Deep caves and dreary main, Wail, for the world's wrong!

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

It is our will That thus ench...

It is our will That thus enchains us to permitted ill. We might be otherwise, we might be all We dream of happy, high, majestical. Where is the love, beauty and truth we seek, But in our mind? and if we were not weak, Should we be less in deed than in desire?

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

It were much better that a se...

It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

One word is too often profane...

One word is too often profaned For me to profane it, One feeling too falsely disdained For thee to disdain it.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The mind in creation is as a ...

The mind in creation is as a fading coal, which some invisible influence, like an inconstant wind, awakens to transitory brightness; this power arises from within...could this influence be durable in its original purity and force, it is impossible to predict the greatness of the result; but when composition begins, inspiration is already on the decline; and the most glorious poetry that has been communicated to the world is probably a feeble shadow of the original conceptions of the poet.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The awful shadow of some unse...

The awful shadow of some unseen Power Floats though unseen among us; visiting This various world with as inconstant wing As summer winds that creep from flower to flower; Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower, It visits with inconstant glance Each human heart and countenance; Like hues and harmonies of evening, Like clouds in starlight widely spread, Like memory of music fled, Like aught that for its grace may be Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Religion! but for thee, proli...

Religion! but for thee, prolific fiend, Who peoplest earth with demons, hell with men, And heaven with slaves!

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

He has outsoared the shadow o...

He has outsoared the shadow of our night; envy and calumny and hate and pain, and that unrest which men miscall delight, can touch him not and torture not again; from the contagion of the world's slow stain, he is secure.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Those who inflict must suffer...

Those who inflict must suffer, for they see The work of their own hearts, and this must be Our chastisement or recompense.
