More From John Milton

Alas! what boots it with uncessant care to tend the homely slighted shepherd's trade, and strictly meditate the thankless muse; were it not better done as others use, to sport with amaryllis in the shade, or with the tangles of neaera's hair? fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (that last infirmity of noble mind) to scorn delights, and live laborious days; but the fair guerdon when we hope to find, and think to burst out into sudden blaze, comes the blind fury with th'abhorred shears, and slits the thin-spun life.

If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. because fame is something that's over back of you. it ain't ahead.... not ahead at all. i mean, if you've done it that's great, but "what are you going to do now?" is the only thing that matters.

Everybody gets jolted. you, me, before we die we’ll all get nailed, lots of times. but that doesn’t mean we’ll get turned into witches. you can’t avoid getting zapped, but you can avoid passing the mean energy on. that’s the interesting thing about witches, the challenge of them-- learning not to hit back, or hit somebody else, when they zap you. you can bury the zap, for instance, like the gods buried the titans in the center of the earth. or you can be like a river when a forest fire hits it--phshhhhhhhhhhhh! just drown it, drown all the heat and let it wash away.
