More From John Dryden

My parents did love each other. enough to forsake plans and factions. enough to defy “faction before blood.” blood before faction--no, love before faction, always. - tris prior
Blood Parent Enough
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.
Powerful Men Thinking
The problem of good and evil is not the problem of good and evil, but only the problem of evil. in opposition to good there are evil characters, but there are no good characters in opposition to evil. evil is arguable, but good is not. therefore the devil always wins the argument.
Character Winning Evil
If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.
Children Thinking Trying
You're looking at me as though i'm weird. my god! are you so out of touch with most of america, most of which believes in the devil? i mean, jesus christ believed in the devil! it's in the gospels! you travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream america that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil.

Christian Jesus Believe
I'm trying to imitate jesus in the fact that he said to be like children, to love children, to be as pure as children and to make yourself as innocent and to see the world through eyes of wonderment and the whole magical quality of it all.
Jesus Children Eye
If heaven is understood more as god's space on earth than as an ethereal region apart from the essential reality we know, then what happens on earth matters even more than we think, for the christian life becomes a continuation of the unfolding work of jesus, who will one day return to set the world to rights.
Christian Jesus Thinking
There's no hell mentioned in the old testament. the punishment of the dead is not specified there. it's only with gentle jesus, meek and mild, that the idea of eternal torture for minor transgressions is introduced.
