“We boast our light; but if we look not wisely on the sun itself, it smites us into darkness....The light which we have gained was given us, not to be ever staring on, but by it to discover onward things more remote from our knowledge.”
― John Milton, Areopagitica

“Gawayne, bewildered, looked the other way,
And wondered what she meant; for in that day
The ready wit of man was under muzzle,
And woman's heart was still an unsolved puzzle;
And Gawayne, though in valor next to none,
Wished that her heart had been a tenderer one.
His sword was out for any foe on earth,
And yet to face death for a lady's mirth
Seemed scarce worth while. What honor bade, he'd do,
But would have liked to see a tear or two.”
― Charlton Miner Lewis, Gawayne And The Green Knight

“Miracles do not happen:"—'t is plain sense,
If you italicize the present tense;
But in those days, as rare old Chaucer tells,
All Britain was fulfilled of miracles.”
― Charlton Miner Lewis, Gawayne and the Green knight;

“Those of us who have been true readers all our life seldom fully realise the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors.”
