Poetry Quote by John Milton — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“He who thinks we are to pitch our tent here, and have attained the utmost prospect of reformation that the mortal glass wherein we contemplate can show us, till we come to beatific vision, that man by this very opinion declares that he is yet far short of truth.”

“I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.”

“No man [...] can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free, being the image and resemblance of God himself.”

“Henceforth an individual solace dear;”

“Be strong, live happy and love, but first of all”

“Here at last”

“If it ain't a pleasure, it ain't a poem.”

“We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but out of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.”

“I let her go”

“No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. You cannot value him alone; you must set him, for contrast and comparison, among the dead.”

“Hair tangled with the wind”

“Good poetry makes the universe reveal a secret.”
