Samuel Taylor Coleridge : (3) " Until you understand a writer’s ignorance, presume yourself ignorant of his understanding. " - Samuel Taylor Coleridge " I have often thought what a melancholy world this would be without children, and what an inhuman world without the aged. " - Samuel Taylor Coleridge " And though thou notest from thy safe recess old friends burn dim, like lamps in noisome air love them for what they are; nor love them less, because to thee they are not what they were. " - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
