The devil is not, indeed, perfectly humorous, but that is only because he is the extreme of all humor.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeFacts are not truths; they are not conclusions; they are not even premises, but in the nature and parts of premises.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeThe definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places.The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
