... Virtue owns a more eternal foe Than Force or Fraud: old Custom, legal Crime, And bloody Faith the foulest birth of Time.

Man who man would be, must rule the empire of himself.

I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Jesus Christ represented God a...

Jesus Christ represented God as the principle of all good, the source of all happiness, the wise and benevolent Creator and Preserver of all living things. But the interpreters of his doctrines have confounded the good and the evil principle.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Let the advocate of animal food, force himself to a decisive experiment on its fitness, and as Plutarch recommends, tear a living lamb with his teeth, and plunging his head into its vitals, slake his thirst with the steaming blood; when fresh from the deed of horror let him revert to the irresistible instincts of nature that would rise in judgment against it, and say, Nature formed me for such work as this. Then, and then only, would he be consistent.

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.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

No one has yet been found resolute enough in dogmatizing to deny that Nature made man equal; that society has destroyed this equality is a truth not more incontrovertible.

O weep for Adonis - He is dead.' 'Peace. He is not dead he doth not sleep - he hath wakened from the dream of life

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

We rest; a dream has power to ...

We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep. We rise; one wand'ring thought pollutes the day. We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep, Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away; It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free. Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability!

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Power, like a desolating pesti...

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 mechanized automaton.

Teas, Where small talk dies in agonies.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The great secret of morals is ...

The great secret of morals is love; or a going out of our nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own. A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasure of his species must become his own. The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The everlasting universe of things Flows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves, Now dark--now glittering--now reflecting gloom-- Now lending splendour, where from secret springs The source of human thought its tribute brings.

Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present.

Kings are like stars,-they rise and set, they have The worship of the world, but no repose.

Peace is in the grave....

Peace is in the grave.

Just a tender sense of my own process, that holds something of my connection with the divine.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Then black despair, The shadow of a starless night, was thrown Over the world in which I moved alone.

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.

The awful shadow of some unseen Power Floats, tho' unseen, amongst us.
