"I have been reading a book of travels. I do not know when I have been so much amused. It is a pity that so few of our travellers write like rational creatures."

"I set myself on fire, and people come to watch me burn."

"I am never long in one place. I am a bird of passage, always on the wing."

"To candid, reasonable men, I am not afraid to lay open what has been the course of my life."

"I am not afraid of the devil himself."
