Page xlvi - Non, elle est générale, et je hais tous les hommes, Les uns, parce qu'ils sont méchants et malfaisants; Et les autres pour être aux méchants complaisants, Et n'avoir pas pour eux, ces haines vigoureuses Que doit donner le vice aux âmes vertueuses.
Page lix - Every thing that is new or uncommon, raises a pleasure in the imagination because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.
Page xlii - Par ma foi, il ya plus de quarante ans que je dis de la prose, sans que j'en susse rien; et je vous suis le plus obligé du monde de m'avoir appris cela.
