1 Quote Tagged: corpulent

— So much motion, continues he, (for he was very corpulent) — is so much unquietness; and so much of rest, by the same analogy, is so much of heaven.
Now, I (being very thin) think differently; and that so much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy — and that to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil —
Laurence Sterne, Anglo-Irish novelist and Anglican cleric (1713–1768)
