Famous quotes containing the word hazlitt:

    The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savours less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people’s virtues.
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    It is well that there is no one without a fault; for he would not have a friend in the world.
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    He stood bewildered, not appalled, on that dark shore which separates the ancient and the modern world.... He is power, passion, self-will personified.
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
