"Man is a carnivorous production, and must have meals, at least once a day."

"I am the devil's own—his born servant."

"My head is too full of poetry."

"I love all waste and solitary places; where we taste the pleasure of believing what we see is boundless, as we feel our affections."

"I am a moral, a religious, and a political bigot. I am for the most rigorous morality, the most fervent religion, and the most uncompromising politics."
