Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes

  • We look before and after, And pine for what is not Our sincerest laughter With some pain is fraught Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
  • Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
  • Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.
  • We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts, have their root in Greece.
  • I love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good.

Brighter shines the Star of Rovers on a world that-s growing wide,
But I think I-d give a kingdom for a glimpse of Sydney-Side.
Run of rocky shelves at sunrise, with their base on ocean-s bed;
Homes of Coogee, homes of Bondi, and the lighthouse on South Head.
