These are quotes from "Paradise Lost," an epic poem by the 17th century English poet John Milton.
| | "Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat." | | | "The infernal serpent; he it was, whose guile, Stirred up with envy and revenge, deceived The mother of mankind." | | | "Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes That comes at all." | | | "To be weak is miserable, Doing or suffering." | | | "A mind not to be changed by place or time. The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a heav'n of hell, a hell of heav'n." | | | "Here at least we shall be free; the Almighty hath not built Here for his envy, will not drive us hence: Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition though in Hell: Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven." | | | "Awake, arise, or be forever fallen!" | | | "Who overcomes By force, hath overcome but half his foe." | | | "Rather than be less Cared not to be at all." | | | "Long is the way And hard, that out of Hell leads up to Light." | | | "Before mine eyes in opposition sits Grim Death, my son and foe." | | | "With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, Confusion worse confounded." | | | "Hail, holy light! offspring of heav'n first born." | | | "So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost. Evil, be thou my good." | | | "Millions of spiritual creatures walk the earth Unseen, both when we wake, and when we sleep." | | | "Eased the putting off These troublesome disguises which we wear." | | | "Nor jealousy Was understood, the injured lover's hell." | | | "All seemed well pleased, all seemed but were not all." | | | "Among the faithless, faithful only he." | | | "Out of one man a race Of men innumerable." | | | "To know That which before us lies in daily life Is the prime wisdom." | | | "Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love." | | | "Accuse not Nature: she hath done her part; Do thou but thine." | | | "The serpent subtlest beast of all the field." | | | "So dear I love him, that with him all deaths I could endure, without him live no life." | | | "Our state cannot be severed; we are one, One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself." | | | "Death...on his pale horse." | | | "Nor love thy life, nor hate; but what thou liv'st Live well; how long or short permit to Heaven." | | | "For now I see Peace to corrupt no less than war to waste." |
