“Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.”

“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

“For Mercy has a human heartPity, a human face:And Love, the human form divine,And Peace, the human dress.”

“Energy is eternal delight.”

“Cruelty has a human heart,And Jealousy a human face;Terror the human form divine,And Secresy the human dress.The human dress is forged iron,The human form a fiery forge,The human face a furnace sealed,The human heart its hungry gorge.- "A DIVINE IMAGE”

“I will not reason and compare my business is to create.”

“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.”
