“It is a dull and obtuse mind, that must divide in order to distinguish; but it is a still worse, that distinguishes in order to divide. In the former, we may contemplate the source of superstition and idolatry; in the latter of schism, heresy, and a seditious and sectarian spirit.”
ST

More by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“People of humor are always in some degree people of genius.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Friendship is a sheltering tree.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Love is flower like; Friendship is like a sheltering tree.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge
