Halaman 105 - Shall we for ever make new books, as apothecaries make new mixtures, by pouring only out of one vessel into another ? Are we for ever to be twisting, and untwisting the same rope ? for ever in the same track — for ever at the same pace...
Halaman 19 - I know, from indubitable authority, that his mother, who kept a school, having run in debt, on account of an extravagant daughter, would have rotted in jail if the parents of her scholars had not raised a subscription for her.. Her son had too much sentiment to have any feeling. A dead ass was more important to him than a living mother.
