All that is worth remembering in life, is the poetry of it.
William Hazlitt
Lectures on the English Poets
All that is worth remembering in life, is the poetry of it.
Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
William Hazlitt
The love of fame, as it enters at times into his mind, is only another name for the love of excellence; or it is the ambition to attain the highest excellence, sanctioned by the highest authority — that of time.
William Hazlitt
