To be sick is to enjoy monarchical prerogatives. – Charles Lamb
How a sickness enlarges the dimensions of a mans self to himself! He is his own exclusive object. Supreme selfishness is inculcated in him as his only duty, – Charles Lamb
For Gods sake (I never was more serious) dont make me ridiculous any more by terming me gentle-hearted in print… substitute drunken dog, ragged head, seld-shaven, odd-eyed, stuttering, or any other epithet which truly and properly belongs to the gentleman in question. – Charles Lamb
