30 페이지 - The most lively thought is still inferior to the dullest sensation. We may observe a like distinction to run through all the other perceptions of the mind. A man, in a fit of anger, is actuated in a very different manner from one who only thinks of that emotion.
134 페이지 - Prodigies, omens, oracles, judgments, quite obscure the few natural events that are intermingled with them.
