More From John Milton

Civilization after civilization, it is the same. the world falls to tyranny with a whisper. the frightened are ever keen to bow to a perceived necessity, in the belief that necessity forces conformity, and conformity a certain stability. in a world shaped into conformity, dissidents stand out, are easily branded and dealt with. there is no multitude of perspectives, no dialogue. the victim assumes the face of the tyrant, self-righteous and intransigent, and wars breed like vermin. and people die.
War Fall Self
Like any child, i slid into myself perfectly fitted, as a diver meets her reflection in a pool. her fingertips enter the fingertips on the water, her wrists slide up her arms. the diver wraps herself in her reflection wholly, sealing it at the toes, and wears it as she climbs rising from the pool, and ever after.
Children Reflection Water
Christ is like a river in another respect. a river is continually flowing, there are fresh supplies of water coming from the fountain-head continually, so that a man may live by it, and be supplied with water all his life. so christ is an ever-flowing fountain; he is continually supplying his people, and the fountain is not spent. they who live upon christ, may have fresh supplies from him to all eternity; they may have an increase of blessedness that is new, and new still, and which never will come to an end.
Men Rivers Water
Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. and god is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. true delight is rooted in true doctrine. god-centered exultation is rooted in god-centered education.
Passion Thinking Knowing
I write everything with fountain pens. i don't know why. i've done it since i was bar mitzvahed. i was given a fountain pen, a parker fountain pen, and i loved it, and i've never liked writing anything with pencils or ball-points.
Writing Bars Balls
Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted; if it enrich not the heart of another, its waters, returning back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill them full of refreshment; that which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain.
