Creative Quotations from John Keats ( ) born on Oct 31 English poet; He was one of the foremost Romantic poets; his poems included Ode on a G recian Urn.

The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to… let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party.

Many have original minds who do not think it -- they are led away by custom.

Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it… most of his creations are the result of accident.

There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify -- so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism.

Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
