John Milton

“L'esprit est son propre lieu, et en lui-même peut faire un ciel de l'enfer, un enfer du ciel.”

“Mieux vaut régner en Enfer que servir au Ciel.”

“Ils servent aussi ceux qui ne font que se tenir debout et attendre.”

“He who reigns within himself and rules his passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.”

“Then wilt thou not be loath To leave this Paradise , but shalt possess A Paradise within thee, happier far.”

“Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
