I feel as if God had, by giving the Sabbath, given fifty-two springs in every year.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeMen of genius are rarely much annoyed by the company of vulgar people, because they have a power of looking at such persons as objects of amusement of another race altogether.
Samuel Taylor ColeridgeHow deep a wound to morals and social purity has that accursed article of the celibacy of the clergy been!
