I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top. – John Keats
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into ones soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject. – John Keats

Poetry should… should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance. – John Keats
This is my depressed stance. When youre depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand.

If youre going to get any joy out of being depressed, youve got to stand like this. – Charles Monroe Schulz
