“Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.”

“

“There is no folly of the beasts of the earth which is not infinitely outdone by the madness of men”

“

“Seldom have I known any profound being that had anything to say to this world, unless forced to stammer out something by way of getting a living.”

“

“I leave a white and turbid wake; pale waters, paler cheeks, where'er I sail. The envious billows sidelong swell to whelm my track; let them; but first I pass.”
