Quotes
'What are men to rocks and mountains?' said Elizabeth. 'Oh! what hours of transport we shall spend! And when we do return, it shall not be like other travelers, without being able to give one accurate idea of anything. We will know where we have gone--we will recollect what we have seen. Lakes, mountains, and rivers shall not be jumbled together in our imaginations; nor when we attempt to describe any particular scene, will we begin quarreling about its relative situation. Let our first effusions be less insupportable than those of the generality of travelers.' Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
The intelligence of few perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind. Phryne, in Eunapius, translated by Thomas Taylor
