John Keats

"The great end of life is an exchange of the creative impulse"

"I have had a most wretched day"

"Every human being tends to higher things"

"The beauty of a moment vanishes in the next"

"I would jump down Etna for any great public good"

"A long poem is a test of invention"

"The poetry of the earth is ceasing never"

"I beg you never to despair about me"

"I am living in a real world"

"Do you know there is a niche in the temple of virtue for all human worthiness"

"The greatest delight is in the hard achievement of progress"

"I have felt the warmth of her company"

"Unthinking myrmidon"

"I could spend a whole life in seeing"

"The moving finger writes and having writ moves on"

"I had a glorious dream"

"All joy requires the absence of fear"

"Sorrow is the supreme passion of mankind"

"I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing"

"If you can introduce any beauties in their stead it will be well"

"I have not any belief in retrospective arrangement of heaven and hell"

"Pleasure has no show without its pain"

"My passions are all asleep from my having slumbered till nearly eleven"

"I wish to live as quietly as a hedgehog"

"The first thing that strikes the reader is the apparent easiness of the versification"

"Tell me where is fancy bred"

"The most evident stamp of falshood is the parting of the lips"

"I have been endeavouring to discover the cause of these headaches"

"Write with thy pencil first in a rough draught"

"Axioms in philosophy are not axioms until they are proved upon our pulses"
