Genius must be born, it can't be taught.

We by art unteach what Nature taught.

I feel my sinews slackened with the fright, and a cold sweat trills down all over my limbs, as if I were dissolving into water.

The commendation of adversaries is the greatest triumph of a writer, because it never comes unless extorted.

Good Heaven, whose darling attribute we find is boundless grace, and mercy to mankind, abhors the cruel.

Truth is the object of our understanding, as good is of our will; and the understanding can no more be delighted with a lie than the will can choose an apparent evil.

My love's a noble madness.
