Laurence Sterne Quotes

I Pity The Man Who Can Travel From Dan To Beersheba, And Cry, 'Tis All Barren - And So It Is; And So Is All The World To Him Who Will Not Cultivate The Fruits It Offers. I Declare, Said I, Clapping My Hands Chearily Together, That Was I In A Desart, I Would Find Out Wherewith In It To Call Forth My Affections - If I Could Not Do Better, I Would Fasten Them Upon Some Sweet Myrtle, Or Seek Some Melancholy Cypress To Connect Myself To - I Would Court Their Shade, And Greet Them Kindly For Their Protection - I Would Cut My Name Upon Them, And Swear They Were The Loveliest Trees Throughout The Desert: If Their Leaves Wither'd, I Would Teach Myself To Mourn, And When They Rejoiced, I Would Rejoice Along With Them.
