Additional quotes by John Donne

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?

To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.

Nature hath no goal, though she hath law.

Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right, By these we reach divinity - John Donne
