Quotes from the same author

The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.
 John Donne
We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.
 John Donne

 John Donne
