Additional quotes by Edward Gibbon

the ancient tribunes, so strong and sacred in the public opinion, were not distinguished in style, habit, or appearance, from an ordinary plebeian;

Crowds without company, and dissipation without pleasure.

The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness - Edward Gibbon
