The mind is it's own place, and of itself can make a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven.
Quotes by John Milton
Let that come when it comes; all hope is lost
Of my reception into grace; what worse?
For where no hope is left is left no fear;
If there be worse, the expectation more
Of worse torments me than the feeling can.
I would be at the worst; worst is my port, My harbour, and my ultimate repose,
The end I would attain, my final good.
My error was my error, and my crime
My crime; whatever, for itself condemned,
And will alike be punished, whether thou
Reign or reign not–
He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, or a hell of heaven.
He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, Confusion worse confounded.
Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but thee who destroys a good book, kills reason its self.
Yet I shall temper so Justice with mercy, as may illustrate most Them fully satisfy'd, and thee appease.
Yet I argue not Against Heav'n's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer Right onward.
Yet from those flames No light, but rather darkness visible.
