Famous quotes containing the word adam:
“I wish you would not let him plunge into a ôvortex of
Dissipation.ö I do not object to the Thing, but I cannot bear the
expression; it is such thorough novel slang—and so old, that I
dare say Adam met with it in the first novel he opened.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
