The fancy is indeed no other than a mode of memory emancipated from the order of time and space.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeIt would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeCentres, or centre-pieces of wood, are put by builders under an arch of stone while it is in the process of construction till the keystone is put in. Just such is the use Satan makes of pleasures to construct evil habits upon; the pleasure lasts till the habit is fully formed; but that done the habit may stand eternal. The pleasures are sent for firewood, and the hell begins in this life.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
