When the waves are round me breaking,
As I pace the deck alone,
And my eye in vain is seeking
Some green leaf to rest upon;
What would not I give to wander
Where my old companions dwell?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well! – John Milton
To be blind is not miserable; not to be able to bear blindness, that is miserable. – John Milton
Beauty is natures brag, and must be shown in courts, at feasts, and high solemnities, where most may wonder at the workmanship. – John Milton
It is not miserable to be blind; it is miserable to be incapable of enduring blindness. – John Milton
Im in a period of growth and expansion. Im taking long, hard looks at the world and whats happening in it, analyzing and thinking. Im trying to become acquainted with the universe — with the part of it I occupy — and trying to settle, for myself, what my relationship with it is. – Gene Roddenberry
