A presentation copy, reader,-if haply you are yet innocent of such favours-is a copy of a book which does not sell, sent you by the author.
Charles Lamb
Image
Don't introduce me to that man! I want to go on hating him, and I can't hate a man whom I know.
Charles Lamb
Image
Oh call it by some better name, For friendship sounds too cold.
Charles Lamb
Image
I counsel thee, shut not thy heart, nor thy library.
Charles Lamb
Image
A man cannot have a pure mind who refuses apple dumplings.
Charles Lamb
Image
No eye to watch, and no tongue to wound us, All earth forgot, and all heaven around us.
Charles Lamb
Image
Coleridge declares that a man cannot have a good conscience who refuses apple dumplings, and I confess that I am of the same opinion.
Charles Lamb
Image
How sickness enlarges the dimensions of a man's self to himself! Supreme selfishness is inculcated upon him as his only duty.
