„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.“

“Mind from its object differs most in this:
Evil from good; misery from happiness;
The baser from the nobler; the impure
And frail, from what is clear and must endure.
If you divide suffering and dross, you may
Diminish till it is consumed away;
If you divide pleasure and love and thought,
Each part exceeds the whole; and we know not
How much, while any yet remains unshared,
Of pleasure may be gained, of sorrow spared:
This truth is that deep well, whence sages draw
The unenvied light of hope; the eternal law
By which those live, to whom this world of life
Is as a garden ravaged, and whose strife
Tills for the promise of a later birth
The wilderness of this Elysian earth.”

“You lie—under a mistake,
For this is the most civil sort of lie
That can be given to a man's face. I now
Say what I think.”

Beacons from the abode where the Eternal are.”

“Stand ye calm and resolute,
Like a forest close and mute,
With folded arms and looks which are
Weapons of unvanquished war.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Adonaïs

St. LV
Adonais (1821)

“This is the day, which down the void abysm
At the Earth-born’s spell yawns for Heaven’s despotism
And Conquest is dragged captive through the deep:
Love, from its awful throne of patient power
In the wise heart, from the last giddy hour
Of dread endurance, from the slippery, steep,
And narrow verge of crag-like agony, springs
And folds over the world its healing wings.”

St. 79
(1819)

“All were fat; and well they might
Be in admirable plight,
For one by one, and two by two,
He tossed them human hearts to chew.”

St. 3
(1819)

“My Song, I fear that thou wilt find but few
Who fitly shalt conceive thy reasoning,
Of such hard matter dost thou entertain;
Whence, if by misadventure, chance should bring
Thee to base company (as chance may do),
Quite unaware of what thou dost contain,
I prithee, comfort thy sweet self again,
My last delight! tell them that they are dull,
And bid them own that thou art beautiful.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley To a Skylark

St. 3
To a Skylark (1821)

“Till the Future dares
Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be
An echo and a light unto eternity!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Epipsychidion

Dedication
Epipsychidion (1821)

“Should ever a physician be born with the genius of Locke, I am persuaded that he might trace all bodily and mental derangements to our unnatural habits, as clearly as that philosopher has traced all knowledge to sensation.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Adonaïs

St. I
Adonais (1821)

“All love is sweet,
Given or returned. Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not ever.
Like the wide heaven, the all-sustaining air,
It makes the reptile equal to the God;
They who inspire it most are fortunate,
As I am now; but those who feel it most
Are happier still.”

“Those who inflict must suffer, for they see
The work of their own hearts, and this must be
Our chastisement or recompense.”

Asia, Act II, sc. v, l. 39
Prometheus Unbound (1818–1819; publ. 1820)

“There is no disease, bodily or mental, which adoption of vegetable diet and pure water has not infallibly mitigated, wherever the experiment has been fairly tried. Debility is gradually converted into strength, disease into healthfulness: madness, in all its hideous variety, from the ravings of the fettered maniac, to the unaccountable irrationalities of ill-temper, that make a hell of domestic life, into a calm and considerable evenness of temper, that alone might offer a certain pledge of the future moral reformation of society.”

“Let the blue sky overhead,
The green earth on which ye tread,
All that must eternal be
Witness the solemnity.”

“Spirit, Patience, Gentleness,
All that can adorn and bless
Art thou — let deeds, not words, express
Thine exceeding loveliness.”

St. 66
(1819)

“The good want power, but to weep barren tears.
The powerful goodness want: worse need for them.
The wise want love; and those who love want wisdom;
And all best things are thus confused to ill.
Many are strong and rich, and would be just,
But live among their suffering fellow-men
As if none felt: they know not what they do.”

St. 64
(1819)

“… why God made irreconcilable
Good and the means of good.”

“My father Time is weak and gray
With waiting for a better day;
See how idiot-like he stands,
Fumbling with his palsied hands!”

The Triumph of Life (1822)

“Have you not heard
When a man marries, dies, or turns Hindoo,
His best friends hear no more of him?”

St. 23

“I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.”

Letter to Maria Gisborne (1820), l. 235

“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”

The Indian Serenade http://www.poetry-archive.com/s/the_indian_serenade.html (1819), st. 1

“Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.”

“What is Freedom? — ye can tell
That which slavery is, too well —
For its very name has grown
To an echo of your own.”

“Peter was dull; he was at first
Dull,—oh so dull, so very dull!
Whether he talked, wrote, or rehearsed,
Still with this dulness was he cursed!
Dull,—beyond all conception, dull.”

St. 39
(1819)

“Cease, cease, wayward Mortal! I dare not unveil
The shadows that float o’er Eternity’s vale;
Nought waits for the good but a spirit of Love,
That will hail their blest advent to regions above.
For Love, Mortal, gleams through the gloom of my sway,
And the shades which surround me fly fast at its ray.”

Peter Bell the Third (1819), Pt. VII, st. 11

“Not the swart Pariah in some Indian grove,
Lone, lean, and hunted by his brother’s hate,
Hath drunk so deep the cup of bitter fate
As that poor wretch who cannot, cannot love:
He bears a load which nothing can remove,
A killing, withering weight.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley Death (Shelley, 2)

"Death" in an untitled dialogue (1809); published in Life of Shelley (1858) by Thomas Jefferson Hogg, p. 197

“I am gone into the fields
To take what this sweet hour yields; —
Reflection, you may come to-morrow,
Sit by the fireside with Sorrow. —
You with the unpaid bill, Despair, —
You, tiresome verse-reciter, Care, —
I will pay you in the grave, —
Death will listen to your stave.”

"The Solitary" (1810), st. 2

“Ere Babylon was dust,
The Magus Zoroaster, my dead child,
Met his own image walking in the garden.
That apparition, sole of men, he saw.”

Источник: To Jane: The Invitation (1822), l. 31

“Chastity is a monkish and evangelical superstition, a greater foe to natural temperance even than unintellectual sensuality; it strikes at the root of all domestic happiness, and consigns more than half the human race to misery.”
