More From John Milton

My personal attitude toward atheists is the same attitude that i have toward christians, and would be governed by a very orthodox text: "by their fruits shall ye know them." i wouldn't judge a man by the presuppositions of his life, but only by the fruits of his life. and the fruits - the relevant fruits - are, i'd say, a sense of charity, a sense of proportion, a sense of justice. and whether the man is an atheist or a christian, i would judge him by his fruits, and i have therefore many agnostic friends.

Drifting snowflakes brushed her face as light as lover’s kisses, and melted on her cheeks. at the center of the garden, beside the statue of the weeping woman that lay broken and half-buried on the ground, she turned her face up to the sky and closed her eyes. she could feel the snow on her lashes, taste it on her lips. it was the taste of winterfell. the taste of innocence. the taste of dreams.
