John Keats

"Such the unripe sheaf of our contentment"

"I am sure myself that there would be something wrong in me if I did not love you"

"The true use of the imagination is to awaken the mind"

"Let me open my heart to the full feeling of love"

"All my life I have been astonished at the way people do not shield from pain when they love"

"I have the same idea of you which I have of Italy"

"Why should woman suffer"

"I have been reading lately two very different books"

"Verse cannot be made by rule"

"The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing"

"Why am I talking of disappointment"

"Absence of body is absence of pain"

"My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet"

"Kindness has resistless charm"

"I almost wish we were butterflies and lived but three summer days"

"The world is full of a number of things"

"To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that lie too deep for tears"

"My heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains"

"Darling I have been ill most of the day"

"I wish you could know me in my real, true, everyday existence"

"I cannot be happy without you"

"The best thing for being sad is to learn something"

"There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality"

"Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather"

"I am the wisest letter-writer in the world"

"I have need of the spirituality of love"

"You have absorb'd me"

"Patience is the art of hope"

"Nothing ever happens twice in this world but the memory of it"

"That which is creative must create itself"
