“The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveler".”

“Is it true, O Christ in heaven, that the highest suffer the most?That the strongest wander furthest and most hopelessly are lost?That the mark of rank in nature is capacity for pain?That the anguish of the singer makes the sweetness of the strain?”

“The mind is a universe and can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.”

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”

“Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven.”

“Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight.”

“This horror will grow mild, this darkness light.”
