It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.
All high beauty has a moral element in it.
Let ideas establish their legitimate sway again in society, let life be fair and poetic, and the scholars will gladly be lovers, citizens, and philanthropists.
A beautiful woman is a practical poet.
Sunshine cannot bleach the snow, Nor time unmake what poets know
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
