" "Cursed luck! — said he, biting his lip as he shut the door, — for man to be master of one of the finest chains of reasoning in nature, — and have a wife at the same time with such a head-piece, that he cannot hang up a single inference within side of it, to save his soul from destruction.

Additional quotes by Laurence Sterne
... irfanımızın engin harmanının emekçileri ... çoğu ik'le ve tik'le biten daha elli dalda, son iki yüzyıldır ya da daha uzun bir süredir, mükemmeliyetinin o doruğuna doğru emekliyor. Son yedi yıl içindeki gelişmelere bakarak bir tahminde bulunabilirsek, bu doruk ise pek de uzaklarda olmamalı.
Bu sonuç gerçekleştiğinde, umulur ki, her türlü yazı son bulacak; her türlü yazının son bulması her türlü okumayı yok edecek; ve zamanla, -her tür bilgi ortadan kalkacak, ve, ardından, her şeye yeni baştan başlamamız gerekecek. Bir başka deyişle, tam başladığımız yere geri döneceğiz.

"There is not an oath, or at least a curse amongst them, which has not been copied over and over again out of Ernulphus a thousand times but, like all other copies, how infinitely short of the force and spirit of the original! It is thought to be no bad oath - and by itself passes very well - "God damn you" - Set it beside Ernulphus's - "God Almighty the Father damn you - God the Son damn you - God the Holy Ghost damn you" - you see 'tis nothing. - There is an orientality in his, we cannot rise up to."
