So I shall soon be out of Town. You must soon bring all your present troubles to a close, and so must I, but we must, like the Fox, prepare for a fresh swarm of flies. Banish money...
Сторінка 152 - I have never yet been able to perceive how anything can be known for truth by consecutive reasoning, and yet [so] it must be.
