Famous quotes containing the words journal and/or sentinel:
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“The sentinel with his musket beside a man with his umbrella is spectral. There is not sufficient reason for his existence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
