Halaman 5 - I WISH either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them, as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when they begot me; had they duly considered how much depended upon what they were then doing; — that not only the production of a rational Being was concerned in it, but that possibly the happy formation and temperature of his body, perhaps his genius and the very cast of his mind...
Halaman 115 - I have constructed the main work and the adventitious parts of it with such intersections, and have so complicated and involved the digressive and progressive movements, one wheel within another, that the whole machine, in general, has been kept a-going; — and, what's more, it shall be kept a-going these forty years, if it pleases the fountain of health to bless me so long with life and good spirits.

Halaman xx - ... about him, as the kindliest climate could have engendered and put together. With all this sail, poor Yorick carried not one ounce of ballast ; he was utterly unpractised in the world; and, at the age of twenty-six, knew just about as well how to steer his course in it as a romping unsuspicious girl of thirteen...
Halaman 60 - Could a historiographer drive on his history, as a muleteer drives on his mule, — straight forward ; for instance, from Rome all the way to Loretto, without ever once turning his head aside either to the right hand or to the left, he might venture to foretell you to an hour when he should get to his journey's end; but the thing is, morally speaking, impossible...
Halaman 225 - Behold Religion, with Mercy and Justice chained down under her feet, there sitting ghastly upon a black tribunal, propped up with racks and instruments of torment. Hark! — hark! what a piteous groan!
Halaman 160 - My sister, mayhap," quoth my uncle Toby, " does not choose to let a man come so near her " ." Make this dash, , — 'tis an Aposiopesis ; • — take the dash away, and write BACKSIDE, 'tis bawdy ;— scratch backside out, and put...
