To most humans, a universe consisting of particles banging about and doing what they have to do seems cold, barren, and without meaning. Meaning, however, is not something that floats in space, permeating the universe like a nebulous, mystical cloud. ... Meaning arises out of the working of the human mind, and therefore exists only in the human mind. The meaning of existence is whatever you want to make of it.


Milton A. Rothman

JOHN MILTON
Far from all resort of mirth, / Save the cricket on the hearth!
JOHN MILTON
Thus I set my printless feet O'er the cowslip's velvet head, That bends not as I tread.
JOHN MILTON
Of herbs, and other country messes, Which the neat-handed Phillis dresses.
