—H.G. (Herbert George)
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home,
And so am come abroad to see the world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
