More From John Dryden

Beyond love, beyond unrequited love, perhaps even beyond any other passion known to humanity, deep, deep in the depths of the turgid, clinging, swamplike pit of despair that lies dormant within every soul, lurks jealousy. jealousy, that most demeaning and debilitating of emotions. jealousy, which can double the strength of the love upon which it is based, but whilst doubling it, warp and pervert it, untill it is no longer recognizable as the thing of beauty it once was. jealous love is no more like true love than mr hyde was like dr jekyll or a stagnant swamp is like a freshwater lake.
Lying Jealous Unrequited Love
Flailing and thrashing, buttercup wept and tossed and paced and wept some more, and there have been three great cases of jealousy since david of galilee was first afflicted with the emotion when he could no longer stand the fact that his neighbor saul's cactus outshone his own. (originally, jealousy pertained solely to plants, other people's cactus or ginkgoes, or, later, when there was grass, grass, which is why, even to this day, we say that someone is green with jealousy.) buttercup's case rated a close fourth on the all-time list. it was a very long and very green night.
Night Long People
The action of pity leaps quicker than light from the highest place to the lowest to bring healing and joy, whatever the cost to itself. it changes darkness into light and evil into good. but it will not, at the cunning tears of hell, impose on good the tyranny of evil. every disease that submits to a cure shall be cured: but we will not call blue yellow to please those who insist on having jaundice, nor make a midden of the world's garden for the sake of some who cannot abide the smell of roses.

If religion has given birth to all that is essential in society, it is because the idea of society is the soul of religion.
Ideas Soul Essentials
Sometime we will have to stop overevaluating the word. we shall learn to realize that it is only one of the many bridges that connect the island of our soul with the great continent of common life. . . the broadest, perhaps, but in no way the most refined.
Islands Bridges Soul
You can spread your soul over a paddy field, you can whisper to a mango tree, you can feel the earth between your toes and know that this is the place, the place where it begins and ends. but what can you tell to a pile of bricks? the bricks will not be moved (page 87).
Tree Soul Fields
Someday your life will be over, no matter how much attention you give to your health. will you look back with regret, because you nourished your body but starved your soul?
Regret Giving Soul
