“Close to the academy in this town they have erected a sort of gallows for the pupils to practice on.

Better omit Blair, and take the air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
“My routines come out of total unhappiness. My audiences are my group therapy.”
