Stay, O sweet, and do not rise; The light that shines comes from thine eyes; The day breaks not, it is my heart, Because that you and I must part.

Quote by -John Donne
Thy sins and hairs may no man equal call, for as thy sins increase, thy hairs do fall.
Quote by -John Donne
BUSY old fool, unruly Sun, Why dost thou thus, Through windows, and through curtains, call on us?

Quote by -John Donne
As virtuous men pass mildly away And whisper to their souls, to goe, While some of their friends doe say, The breath goes now, and some say, no: So let us melt, and make no noise...
Quote by -John Donne
Changed loves are but changed sorts of meat, And when he hath the kernel eat, Who doth not fling away the shell?

O! I shall soon despair, when I shall see That Thou lovest mankind well, yet wilt not choose me, And Satan hates me, yet is loth to lose me.

Love is a growing, or full constant light, And his first minute, after noon, is night.
Quote by -John Donne
I long to talk with some old lover’s ghost Who died before the god of Love was born.
Quote by -John Donne
And Jacob came clothed in vile harsh attire, But to supplant, and with gainful intent; God clothed Himself in vile man’s flesh, that so He might be weak enough to suffer woe.
Quote by -John Donne
Methinks I lied all winter, when I swore My love was infinite, if spring makes it more.

“I understood for the first time that I didn't understand what I thought I understood”
Quote by -John Donne
“Once you’re lost, you panic. You’re in total despair, not knowing what to do. I hate it when that happens. Sex can be a real pain that way, ‘cause when you get in the mood all you can think about is what’s right under your nose - that’s sex, all right.”
Quote by -John Donne
“Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.”

“Where I went in my travels, it's impossible for me to recall. I remember the sights and sounds and smells clearly enough, but the names of the towns are gone, as well as any sense of the order in which I traveled from place to place.”
