“In the graver and more sentimental communication of man and man, the head still bears the superior sway; in the unreserved intimacies of man and woman, the heart is ever uppermost. Feeling is the main thing, and judgment passes for little.”

“Justice is the sum of all moral duty.”
William Godwin“Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.”
William Godwin“There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness.”
William Godwin“There is nothing that human imagination can figure brilliant and enviable that human genius and skill do not aspire to realize.”
William Godwin“There can be no passion, and by consequence no love, where there is not imagination.”
William Godwin“Without imagination, there can be no genuine ardor in any pursuit or for any acquisition, and without imagination, there can be no genuine morality, no profound feeling of other men's sorrow, no ardent and persevering anxiety for their interests.”
William Godwin“In the two novels I have published, it was my fortune at different times, and from different persons, to hear the most unqualified censure long before it was possible for me to hear the voice of the public. But my temper was not altered, nor my courage subdued.”
William Godwin“I believe in this being, not because I have any proper or direct knowledge of His existence, but I am at a loss to account for the existence and arrangement of the visible universe, and, being left in the wide sea of conjecture without a clue from analogy or experience, I find the conjecture of a God easy, obvious, and irresistible.”
William Godwin“Make men wise, and by that very operation you make them free. Civil liberty follows as a consequence of this; no usurped power can stand against the artillery of opinion.”
William Godwin“Love conquers all difficulties, surmounts all obstacles, and effects what to any other power would be impossible.”
