Additional quotes by Laurence Sterne

If death, said my father, reasoning with himself, is nothing but the separation of the soul from the body; — and if it is true that people can walk about and do their business without brains, — then certes the soul does not inhabit there.

Alas, poor YORICK!

The Accusing Spirit which flew up to heaven's chancery with the oath, blush'd as he gave it in; and the Recording Angel as he wrote it down, dropp'd a tear upon the word, and blotted it out forever.
