Charles Lamb

“Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and to have her nonsense respected.”

“A book reads the better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins.”

“The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.”
