Image
Between these two, the denying of sins, which we have done, and the bragging of sins, which we have not done, what a space, what a compass is there, for millions of millions of sins!
John Donne
Image
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
John Donne
Image
What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?
John Donne
Image
Take me to you, imprison me, for I, except you enthrall me, never shall be free, nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
John Donne
Image

John Donne
Image
Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feign'd deaths to die.
John Donne

To a large degree, since the beginning of time, charisma or the lack of it has impacted upon those in quest of acclaim. As media expands, this has become ever more vital. Thus, demeanor if unappealing, can defeat one's likelihood of success, causing the death of prospects whilst they are still embryonic.
John Donne
Image
This Extasie doth unperplex (We said) and tell us what we love, Wee see by this, it was not sexe, Wee see, we saw not what did move: But as all severall soules contain Mixture of things, they know not what, Love, these mixt souls, doth mixe againe. Loves mysteries in soules doe grow, But yet the body is his booke.
John Donne
Image
Nature hath no goal though she hath law.
John Donne
Image
If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.
John Donne
Image
I will not look upon the quickening sun, But straight her beauty to my sense shall run The air shall note her soft, the fire most pure Water suggest her clear, and the earth sure Time shall not lose our passages.
John Donne
Image
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
Image
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
Image
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?
John Donne
Image
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
Image
Friends are ourselves.
John Donne
Image
Since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.
John Donne
Image
Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.
John Donne
Image
That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than so.
John Donne
