Percy Bysshe Shelley
  • 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.

  • Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.

  • Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.

  • Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.

  • War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight, the lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade.
