John Milton — "The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day."

"What in me is dark Illumine, what is low raise and support; That to the highth of this great Argument I may assert Eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men."

"For what is life, but the quintessence of pleasure, if we be not in a perpetual motion of enjoyment?"

"And from the bliss of Eden brought no more But tears for such as there had lived before."

"For what can be more unjust than to throw the blame of a bad cause upon the fault of the first man?"

"For neither do the spirits damned lose all their virtue, lest bad men should boast their specious deeds on earth."
