Paradise Lost and Other Poems by John Milton

This book is probably the most beautifully written description of Satan's fall from Heaven and is one of my favorite books of all time. One of my favorite quotes is, "A mind can't be change by place or time. The mind it's is own place, and in itselft can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. What matter where, if I be still the same, and what I should be, all but less than he whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least we shall be free; almighty hath not built here for his envy, will not drive us hence; here we may reighn secure, and in my choice, to reign is worth ambition, though in hell: Better To Reign in Hell than serve in Heaven."
