Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
John Milton

Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards. We must not think to make a staple commodity of all the knowledge in the land, to mark and license it like our broadcloth and our woolpacks.
John Milton
Image
They eat, they drink, and in communion sweet Quaff immortality and joy.
