Classic
Quotes
--------------------
By John Keats
(1795 - 1821), English lyric
poet
--------------------
"Don't be
discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive
experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to
success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false
leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every
fresh experience points out some form of error which we
shall afterwards carefully
avoid."
--------------------
"I am certain
of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections
and the truth of imagination. What the imagination
seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed
before or not."
--------------------
"I
love you the more that I believe you have liked me for
my own sake and for nothing
else."
--------------------
"Poetry should
please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It
should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest
thoughts, and appear almost as a
remembrance."
--------------------
"Tis
the witching hour of night,
Orbed is the moon and
bright,
And the stars they glisten,
glisten,
Seeming with bright eyes to listen
For
what listen
they?"
