When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”

“Shakespeare, with an improved education and in a more enlightened age, might easily have attained the purity and correction of Racine; but nothing leads one to suppose that Racine in a barbarous age would have attained the grandeur, force and nature of Shakespeare.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.”
