Born on this date in 1795 was John Keats, Romantic poet, whose poems include Ode on a Grecian Urn, Ode to a Nightingale, Ode to Psyche and To Autumn. 10 quotes:
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced. A proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.
To stay youthful, stay useful.
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
All writing is a form of prayer.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
If something is not beautiful, it is probably not true.
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
