Fiddle/history

Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or history:

    It needs more skill than I can tell
    To play the second fiddle well.
    —C.H. (Charles Haddon)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
