PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS


decorative quotation marks
My spleen was not occasion'd however, by any thing an abusive, angry Critick could write of me. I take very kindly your heroick manner of congratulation upon this scandal; for I think nothing more honourable, than to be involved in the same fate with all the great and the good that ever lived; that is, to be envy'd and censur'd by bad writers. decorative close quotation marks


The Correspondence of Alexander Pope. Pope to Congreve 16 January 1714/15

PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS


decorative quotation marks
Cette Machine de Dieu est même si imparfaite selon eux, qu'il est oblige de la décrasser de temps en temps par un concours extraordinaire, et même de la raccommoder, comme un horloger son ouvrage; qui sera d'autant plus mauvais maistre, qu'il sera plus souvent obligé d'y retoucher et d'y corriger. Selon mon sentiment, la même force et vigueur y subsiste tousjours, et passe seulement de matiere en matiere, suivant les loix de la nature, et le bel ordre preétabli. Et je tiens, quand Dieu fait des miracles, que ce n'est pas pour soûtenir les besoins de la nature, mais pour ceux de la grace. decorative close quotation marks


G. W. Leibniz: Philosophische Schriften. Siebenter Band, Streitschriften zwischen Leibniz und Clarke. 1715-1716, I. Leibniz' Erstes Schreiben, Extrait d'une lettre écrite au mois de Novembre 1715
