Soul Quotes
-
O for ten years, that I may overwhelmMyself in poesy; so I may do the deedThat my own soul has to itself decreed.
John Keats
-
Religion is organized to satisfy and guide the soul - politics does the same thing for the body.
Joyce Cary
-
This is thy hour o soul, thy free flight into the wordless, away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, night, sleep, death and the stars.
Walt Whitman
-
I love thee as I love the tone
Of some soft-breathing flute
Whose soul is wak'd for me alone,
When all beside is mute.
Eliza Acton

Oh my poor soul, what is to become of you? - Where do you go?
Cardinal Mazarin

The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. That excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.
Thomas Hardy
-

Denis the Carthusian
-
This first glance of a soul which does not yet know itself is like dawn in the heavens; it is the awakening of something radiant and unknown.
Victor Hugo
-
People say that the soul, on hearing the song of creation, entered the body, but in reality the soul itself was the song.
Hafez
-
The face of the night will be an old wound that reopens each evening, impassive and living. The distant silence will ache like a soul, mute, in the dark. We'll speak to the night as it's whispering softly.
Cesare Pavese
-
Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe -the open sesame to every soul.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
-
We cannot be a house divided - divided in will, divided in interest, divided in soul. We cannot be a house divided and live.
Stephen Vincent Benet
