Sayfa 23 - The only end of writing is to enable the readers better to enjoy life, or better to endure it...
Sayfa 21 - As we drown whelps and kittens, they amuse themselves now and then with sinking a ship, and stand round the fields of Blenheim or the walls of Prague, as we encircle a cockpit. As we shoot a bird flying, they take a man in the midst of his business or pleasure and knock him down with an apoplexy.

Sayfa 244 - In the prosecution of this sport of fancy, he considers every production of art and nature in which he could find any decussation or approaches to the form of a quincunx ; and as a man once resolved upon ideal discoveries seldom searches long in vain, he finds his favourite figure in almost every thing...
Sayfa 18 - But was it an evil ever so great, it could not be remedied but by one much greater, which is by living for ever ; by which means our...
Sayfa 258 - any doubts in my way, I do forget them; or at leaft " defer them, till my better fettled judgment, and " more manly reafon, be able to refolve them : for I " perceive, every man's reafon is his beft Oedipus, " and will, upon a reafonable truce, find a way to " loofe thofe bonds, wherewith the fubtilties of er" ror have enchained our more flexible and tender "judgments.
