Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell. Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings. A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time. The mind is its own place, and in it self. Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n. John Milton
John Milton quote: "Our cure, to be no more; sad cure!"
Our cure, to be no more; sad cure! John Milton
John Milton quote: "Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but..."
Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self. John Milton
Henceforth an individual solace dear; Part of my Soul I seek thee, and thee claim My other half: with that thy gentle hand Seisd mine, I yielded, and from that time see How beauty is excelld by manly grace. John Milton
Oh goodness infinite, goodness immense! That all this good of evil shall produce, And evil turn to good; more wonderful. Than that which by creation first brought forth. Light out of darkness! Full of doubt I stand, Whether I should repent me now of sin. By me done, and occasioned; or rejoice. Much more, that much more good thereof shall spring; To God more glory, more good-will to men. From God, and over wrath grace shall abound. John Milton
Should God create another Eve, and IAnother Rib afford, yet loss of thee. Would never from my heart; no no, I feel. The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh, Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State. Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe. John Milton
O shame to men! Devil with devil damned. Firm concord holds, men only disagree. Of creatures rational, though under hope. Of heavenly grace: and God proclaiming peace, Yet live in hatred, enmity, and strife. Among themselves, and levy cruel wars, Wasting the earth, each other to destroy: As if (which might induce us to accord)Man had not hellish foes enough besides, That day and night for his destruction wait. John Milton
As good almost kill a man as kill a good book: who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were, in the eye. John Milton
We boast our light; but if we look not wisely on the run itself, it smites us into darkness. Who can discern those planets that are oft combust, and those starts of brightest magnitude that rise and set with the sun, until the opposite motion of their orbs bring them to such a place in the firmament where they may be seen evening or morning? The light which we have gained was given us, not to be ever staring on, but by it to discover onward things more remote from our knowledge. John Milton
Father, I do acknowledge and confess That I this honor, I this pomp have brought To Dagon, and advanc’d his praises high among the Heathen round; to God have brought Dishonor, obloquy, and op’d the mouths Of Idolists, and Atheists […]The anguish of my Soul, that suffers not Mine eye to harbor sleep, or thoughts to rest. This only hope relieves me, that the strife With mee hath end. John Milton
Into this wild Abyss/ The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave--/ Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,/ But all these in their pregnant causes mixed/ Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,/ Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain/ His dark materials to create more worlds,--/ Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend/ Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,/ Pondering his voyage; for no narrow frith/ He had to cross. John Milton
John Milton quote: "Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good."
Loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good. John Milton
I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words. John Milton
John Milton quote: "No man [...] can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally..."
No man [...] can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free, being the image and resemblance of God himself. John Milton
John Milton quote: "So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell..."
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my good. John Milton
