Good, the more communicated, more abundant grows. [ Milton, Paradise Lost ]

To be a good poet and painter genius is required, and this cannot be communicated. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Joy is a flame which association alone can keep alive, and which goes out unless communicated. [ Lamartine ]

Mediocre people fear exaltation for the harm that may result from it; though it is something that can not be communicated to them. [ Mme. de Krudener ]

What is companionship where nothing that improves the intellect is communicated, and where the larger heart contracts itself to the model and dimension of the smaller? [ Landor ]

When a woman's heart is touched, when it is moved by love, then the electric spark is communicated and the fire of inspiration kindled: but even then she desires no more than to suffer or to die for what she loves. [ Countess Hahn-Hahn ]

Every movement of the theater by a skilful poet is communicated, as it were, by magic, to the spectators; who weep, tremble, resent, rejoice, and are inflamed with all the variety of passions which actuate the several personages of the drama. [ Hume ]

Those who worship gold in a world so corrupt as this we live in have at least one thing to plead in defense of their idolatry - the power of their idol. It is true that, like other idols, it can neither move, see, hear, feel, nor understand; but, unlike other idols, it has often communicated all these powers to those who had them not, and annihilated them in those who had. This idol can boast of two peculiarities; it is worshipped in all climates, without a single temple, and by all classes, without a single hypocrite. [ Colton ]
