Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“Until you understand a writer’s ignorance, presume yourself ignorant of his understanding.” — Coleridge
(Very sage advice. STC sounds like he was objective and open minded. Seems like ages since we’ve seen a Coleridge quote. Let’s see some more. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.” — Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(I love it! She won’t be able to see all that he is doing wrong, and he won’t have to hear whatever it is she can find fault with him. Of course, nowadays, it could just as well be a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. But, we are talking a couple hundred years ago. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.” — Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(Maybe it was just me, but it took me a while to get this one started. I figured the second to last word was either: WALLS, FALLS OR CALLS. I didn’t consider BALLS or HALLS, or any other ALLS word. And, with the assumption that the U was the E, I figured the sixth word was DEGREE. From there everything else fell into place.
We seem to have too many people who might be extremely bright, though unnecessarily specialized. And, too many people who rely on their hearts more than their heads. If we could just learn to check our emotions, then we wouldn’t really need to be so-called geniuses to make wise decisions. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“Motives by excess reverse their very nature and stun the mind.” — Samuel Taylor Coleridge
