Samuel Johnson Quotes

He Had A Peculiar Facility In Seizing At Once What Was Valuable In Any Book, Without Submitting To The Labour Of Perusing It From Beginning To End. He Had, From The Irritability Of His Constitution, At All Times, An Impatience And Hurry When He Either Read Or Wrote. A Certain Apprehension, Arising From Novelty, Made Him Write His First Exercise At College Twice Over; But He Never Took That Trouble With Any Other Composition; And We Shall See That His Most Excellent Works Were Struck Off At A Heat, With Rapid Exertion.
