Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or rosen:

    Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
    Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
    May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
    And never but in unapproached Light
    Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
    Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
    Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
    Whose Fountain who shall tell?
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    The more the development of late capitalism renders obsolete or at least suspect the real possibilities of self, self- fulfillment and actualization, the more they are emphasized as if they could spring to life through an act of will alone.
    —Richard Dean Rosen (b. 1949)
