John Donne

"I am two fools, I know, for loving, and for saying so in whining poetry."

"For God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love."

"Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."

"I joy, that in these straits I see my west;."

"True and false fears let us refrain, Let us love nobly, and live, and add again Years and years unto years, till we attain To write threescore: this is the second of our reign."
