Samuel Richardson
The World is not enough used to this way of writing, to the moment. It knows not that in the minutiae lie often the unfoldings ofthe Story, as well as of the heart and judges of an action undecided, as if it were absolutely decided.
Samuel Richardson
Men know no medium: They will either, spaniel-like, fawn at your feet, or be ready to leap into your lap.
Samuel Richardson
