“To sit idle aloft, like living statues, like absurd Epicurus-gods, in pampered isolation, in exclusion from the glorious fateful battlefield of this God's-World: it is a poor life for a man, when all Upholsterers and French-Cooks have done their utmost for it!”

- SARTOR RESARTUS
- PAST AND PRESENT
- THE DIAMOND NECKLACE
- MIRABEAU
