Paradise Lost

“But Knowledge is as food, and needs no less
Her Temperance over Appetite, to know
In measure what the mind may well contain,
Oppresses else with Surfeit, and soon turns
Wisdom to Folly, as Nourishment to Wind."


~ John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book 7, 126-130

  1. Someday I will read that book. Until then I'll reflect on your quote here.

    God Bless.
