Additional quotes by John Donne

On a huge hill, Cragged and steep, Truth stands, and hee that will Reach her, about must, and about must goe; And what the hills suddenness resists, winne so; Yet strive so, that before age, deaths twilight, Thy Soule rest, for none can worke in that night.

He that desires to print a book, should much more desire, to be a book.

Batter my heart, three-personed God; for you As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend.

Absence, hear thou my protestation Against thy strength, Distance, and length; Do what thou canst for alteration - John Donne
