John Keats

Love is my religion - I could die for it.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.

Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.

I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.

With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.

Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.
