„Избыток зла порождает добро.“

„Любовь - это выход за пределы своего "я" и слияние с тем прекрасным, что заключено в другом человеке.“

„Журавль, ища гнезда, через моря стремится;
Нет птицы, чтоб она летела из гнезда,
Когда скитаньем утомится;“

„Чтобы быть истинно добрым, человек должен обладать живым воображением, он должен уметь представить себя на месте другого. Воображение - лучшее орудие нравственного совершенствования.“

поэтические цитаты

„Ничто в мире не одиноко;
Все в нем, следуя высшему закону,
Сливается в едином духе.“

„В детстве мы меньше отделяем наши впечатления и ощущения от нас самих.
Все это составляет как бы единое целое. В этом отношении некоторые люди навсегда остаются детьми. Людям, склонным к мечтательной задумчивости, кажется, будто они растворяются в окружающем мире или мир поглощается ими. Они не ощущают границы между тем и другим. Такое состояние предшествует или сопутствует особо острому и живому восприятию или же следует за ним.“

„Самая губительная ошибка, которая когда-либо была сделана в мире, - это отделение политической науки от нравственной.“

„Высочайшее назидание — это научить человеческое сердце самопознанию через сострадание и гнев; и чем глубже это самопознание, тем человек мудрее, справедливее, искреннее, терпимее и добрее.“

Перси Биши Шелли цитаты

„Любовью тюльпан и горчанка зажглись;
И дивный красавец, влюблённый нарцисс,
Расцвёл над ручьём и глядит на себя,
Пока не умрёт, бесконечно любя;“

„Любовь чахнет под принуждением; самая её сущность — свобода; она несовместима с повиновением, с ревностью или страхом; она там наиболее чиста, совершенна и безгранична, где её приверженцы живут в доверии, в равенстве и отсутствии условности.“

поэтические цитаты

„Безумная явилась тут,
Надеждою ее зовут.
Но, как Отчаянье, она
Вскричала, вся дрожа, бледна: «Отец мой, Время, стар и сед,
Ждет лучших дней, а их все нет,
Глядите, он, как идиот,
Руками шарит, счастья ждет».“

„Зачем покинул ты привычный путь людской
Так скоро, слабою рукой, но храбрым сердцем
Голодного дракона растревожив в его норе?
Ты беззащитен был, но где ж тогда скрывалась
Та мудрость, что всегда — зеркальный щит?..“

„Никогда так не нужна поэзия, как в те времена, когда вследствие господства себялюбия и расчета количество материальных благ растет быстрее, чем способность освоить их согласно закону души.“

„Мой лучший брат, мой светлый гений“

„Так в лесу росистом
В час ночной — светляк
Блеском золотистым
Рассекает мрак,
Невидимый горит цветов и трав маяк.“

„Что было — смерти, будущее — мне.“

„Поэзия - памятник, в котором запечатлены лучшие и счастливейшие мгновения самых лучших и счастливейших умов.“

“Heaven's ebon vault,
Studded with stars unutterably bright,
Through which the moon's unclouded grandeur rolls,
Seems like a canopy which love has spread
To curtain her sleeping world.”

“It is probable that what we call thought is not an actual being, but no more than the relation between certain parts of that infinitely varied mass, of which the rest of the universe is composed, and which ceases to exist as soon as those parts change their position with regard to each other.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Queen Mab

Canto IV
Queen Mab (1813)

“Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.”

On a Future State (1815; publ. 1840)

“Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances; departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.”

A Defence of Poetry http://www.bartleby.com/27/23.html (1821)

“Sing again, with your dear voice revealing
A tone
Of some world far from ours,
Where music and moonlight and feeling
Are one.”

Not Shelley but the I Ching
Misattributed

“Some say that gleams of a remoter world
Visit the soul in sleep, — that death is slumber,
And that its shapes the busy thoughts outnumber
Of those who wake and live.”

To Jane. The keen Stars were twinkling; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)

“… they who wore
Mitres and helms and crowns, or wreaths of light,
Signs of thought's empire over thought —their lore
Taught them not this, to know themselves; their might
Could not repress the mystery within.”

Mont Blanc http://www.readprint.com/work-1366/Percy-Bysshe-Shelley (1816), st. 3

“The intense atom glows
A moment, then is quenched in a most cold repose.”

The Triumph of Life (1822)

“On a poet's lips I slept
Dreaming like a love-adept
In the sound his breathing kept.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Adonaïs

St. XX
Adonais (1821)

“To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;
To defy Power, which seems Omnipotent;
To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;
Neither to change nor falter nor repent;
This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be
Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;
This is alone Life; Joy, Empire, and Victory!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Prometheus Unbound

Fourth Spirit, Act I, l. 737
Prometheus Unbound (1818–1819; publ. 1820)

“Best and brightest, come away!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Prometheus Unbound

Demogorgon, Act IV, closing lines
Prometheus Unbound (1818–1819; publ. 1820)

“The body is placed under the earth, and after a certain period there remains no vestige even of its form. This is that contemplation of inexhaustible melancholy, whose shadow eclipses the brightness of the world. The common observer is struck with dejection of the spectacle. He contends in vain against the persuasion of the grave, that the dead indeed cease to be. The corpse at his feet is prophetic of his own destiny. Those who have preceded him, and whose voice was delightful to his ear; whose touch met his like sweet and subtle fire: whose aspect spread a visionary light upon his path — these he cannot meet again.”

Источник: To Jane: The Invitation (1822), l. 1

“Once, early in the morning,
Beelzebub arose,
With care his sweet person adorning,
He put on his Sunday clothes.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley книга The Necessity of Atheism

The Necessity of Atheism (1811)

“If he is infinitely good, what reason should we have to fear him?
If he is infinitely wise, why should we have doubts concerning our future?
If he knows all, why warn him of our needs and fatigue him with our prayers?
If he is everywhere, why erect temples to him?
If he is just, why fear that he will punish the creatures that he has filled with weaknesses?
If grace does everything for them, what reason would he have for recompensing them?
If he is all-powerful, how offend him, how resist him?
If he is reasonable, how can he be angry at the blind, to whom he has given the liberty of being unreasonable?
If he is immovable, by what right do we pretend to make him change his decrees?
If he is inconceivable, why occupy ourselves with him?
If he has spoken, why is the universe not convinced?
If the knowledge of a God is the most necessary, why is it not the most evident and the clearest?”

The Devil's Walk http://www.rc.umd.edu/editions/shelley/devil/br-text.html (1812), st. 1

“And he wore a kingly crown;
And in his grasp a sceptre shone;
On his brow this mark I saw —
'I AM GOD, AND KING, AND LAW!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley книга The Necessity of Atheism

The Necessity of Atheism (1811)

“As I lay asleep in Italy
There came a voice from over the Sea,
And with great power it forth led me
To walk in the visions of Poesy.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley The Masque of Anarchy

St. 9
The Masque of Anarchy (1819)

“Then black despair,
The shadow of a starless night, was thrown
Over the world in which I moved alone.”

St. 1
(1819)

“Thy light alone like mist o'er mountains driven,
Or music by the night-wind sent
Through strings of some still instrument,
Or moonlight on a midnight stream,
Gives grace and truth to life's unquiet dream.”

Is on one side.”

St. 3

In this ghastly masquerade,
All disguised, even to the eyes,
Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies.”

Lines to a Reviewer http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/s/shelley/percy_bysshe/s54cp/section229.html (1821), l. 3

“He died,
Who was the Sire of an immortal strain,
Blind, old, and lonely.”

St. 7
(1819)

“He gave man speech, and speech created thought,
Which is the measure of the universe.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Adonaïs

St. IV
Adonais (1821)

“First our pleasures die — and then
Our hopes, and then our fears — and when
These are dead, the debt is due,
Dust claims dust — and we die too.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Prometheus Unbound

Asia, Act II, sc. iv, l. 72
Prometheus Unbound (1818–1819; publ. 1820)

“Rarely, rarely, comest thou,
Spirit of Delight!
Wherefore hast thou left me now
Many a day and night?
Many a weary night and day
'Tis since thou are fled away.”

He slays the lamb that looks him in the face,
And horribly devours his mangled flesh.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley книга A Vindication of Natural Diet

Источник: A Vindication of Natural Diet (1813)

“It has been the persuasion of an immense majority of human beings in all ages and nations that we continue to live after death,—that apparent termination of all the functions of sensitive and intellectual existence. Nor has mankind been contented with supposing that species of existence which some philosophers have asserted; namely, the resolution of the component parts of the mechanism of a living being into its elements, and the impossibility of the minutest particle of these sustaining the smallest diminution. They have clung to the idea that sensibility and thought, which they have distinguished from the objects of it, under the several names of spirit and matter, is, in its own nature, less susceptible of division and decay, and that, when the body is resolved into its elements, the principle which animated it will remain perpetual and unchanged.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Queen Mab

Canto VIII
Queen Mab (1813)

“What! alive, and so bold, O earth?”

On a Future State (1815; publ. 1840)

“You would not easily guess
All the modes of distress
Which torture the tenants of earth;
And the various evils,
Which like so many devils,
Attend the poor souls from their birth.”

Written on hearing the News of the Death of Napoleon; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)

“To that high Capital, where kingly Death
Keeps his pale court in beauty and decay,
He came.”

"Verses On A Cat" (1800), St. 2, as published in Life of Shelley (1858) by Thomas Jefferson Hogg, p. 21
