" "Si un historiógrafo pudiera conducir su historia como un mulero conduce a su mula, — en línea recta y siempre hacia adelante: — por ejemplo, desde Roma hasta Loreto sin volver la cabeza ni una sola vez en todo el trayecto, ni a derecha ni a izquierda, — podría aventurarse a predecirles a ustedes, con un margen de error de una hora, cuándo iba a llegar al término de su viaje; — pero eso, moralmente hablando, es imposible. Porque si es un hombre con un mínimo de espíritu, se encontrará en la obligación, durante su marcha, de desviarse cincuenta veces de la línea recta para unirse a este o a aquel grupo, y de ninguna manera lo podrá evitar. Se le ofrecerán vistas y perspectivas que perpetuamente reclamarán su atención; y le será tan imposible no detenerse a mirarlas como volar; tendrá, además, diversos:

Additional quotes by Laurence Sterne
my uncle Toby had certainly been overthrown: the sentence and the argument in that case jumping closely in one point, so like the two lines which form the salient angle of a ravelin, — Dr. Slop would never have given them up; — and my uncle Toby would as soon have thought of flying, as taking them by force: but Dr. Slop fumbled so vilely in pulling them out, it took off the whole effect, and what was a ten times worse evil (for they seldom come alone in this life) in pulling out his forceps, his forceps unfortunately drew out the squirt along with it. When a proposition can be taken in two senses — ’tis a law in disputation, That the respondent may reply to which of the two he pleases, or finds most convenient for him. — This threw the advantage of the argument quite on my uncle Toby’s side. — ‘Good God!’ cried my uncle Toby, ‘are children brought into the world with a squirt?
Gücüydü, çünkü doğası gereği güzel konuşurdu babam; zaafıydı, çünkü saat başı yeteneğini gösterebilmek için bir bahane arar, ne yapar eder dirayetli ya da zekice, ya da hınzırca bir şeyler söylemeyi başarırdı.

Babam için dilini bağlayan herhangi bir lütuf ile dilini çözen herhangi bir bela arasında fark yoktu; çünkü mesela çektiği nutuktan duyduğu keyif on ise, başına gelen bela azami beş olmaktaydı-bu yüzden de her zaman en azından yarı yarıya galipti ve sanki bütün bunlar başına hiç gelmemişçesine yoluna devam ederdi.
