232 페이지 - Nothing can please many, and please long, but just representations of general nature. Particular manners can be known to few, and therefore few only can judge how nearly they are copied. The irregular combinations of fanciful invention may delight awhile, by that novelty of which the common satiety of life sends us all in quest; but the pleasures of sudden wonder are soon exhausted, and the mind can only repose on the stability of truth.
289 페이지 - I have indeed disappointed no opinion more than my own ; yet I have endeavoured to perform: my task with no slight solicitude.

The delight of tragedy proceeds from our consciousness of fiction ; if we thought murders and treasons real, they would please no more.
249 페이지 - There is no reason why a mind thus wandering in ecstasy should count the clock, or why an hour should not be a century in that calenture of the brains that can make the stage a field.
246 페이지 - A quibble is the golden apple for which he will always turn aside from his career, or stoop from his elevation.
