How can we start listing John Keats Quotations without first listing:

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness. ”

One more on Beauty, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,’ - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. ”

“I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else. ”

A life saying by John Keats, “A proverb is no proverb to you until life has illustrated it”

One more quote on love, “Love is my religion - I could die for it.”

This is a quote on something close to his heart, Poetry, “If poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree, it had better not come at all”

And here is one more on poetry and Life, “Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance.”

A John Keats quote on Immortality, “I long to believe in immortality. . . . If I am destined to be happy with you here–how short is the longest life. I wish to believe in immortality–I wish to live with you forever. “
