Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.

To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.

If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent

To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but immediately to the understanding or reason?

God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
