Seite 173 - I would remind him, that the idea of duration and of its simple modes, is got merely from the train and succession of our ideas, — and is the true scholastic pendulum, and by which, as a scholar, I will be tried in this matter, — abjuring and detesting the jurisdiction of all other pendulums whatever.
Seite 120 - By this contrivance the machinery of my work is of a species by itself; two contrary motions are introduced into it, and reconciled, which were thought to be at variance with each other. In a word, my work is digressive, and it is progressive too, — and at the same time.
Seite 205 - He stood before them with his body swayed and bent forwards, just so far as to make an angle of 85 degrees and a half upon the plain of the horizon...
Seite 123 - ... then taken your pen and ink, and set down nothing but what you had seen, and could have sworn to : But this is an advantage not to be had by the biographer in this planet...

Seite 46 - English, without any periphrasis ; — and too oft without much distinction of either person, time, or place ; — so that when mention was made of a pitiful or an ungenerous proceeding, he never gave himself a moment's time to reflect who was the hero of the piece, what his station, or how far he had power to hurt him hereafter ; but, if it was a dirty action, — without more ado, — The man was a dirty fellow ; and so on.
Seite 190 - My uncle Toby was a man patient of injuries ; not from want of courage. I have told you in a former chapter, 'that ho was a man of courage...
