Negative capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.

A weak man has doubts before a decision; a strong man has them afterwards

The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy; but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness

Let the fictitious sources of pleasure be as near as possible to the true.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.
