We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike.
We are not satisfied with real life; we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are.
Our own interests are still an exquisite means for dazzling our eyes agreeably.
Let man then contemplate nature in full and lofty majesty, and turn his eyes away from the mean objects which surround him. Let him look at the dazzling light hung aloft as an eternal lamp to lighten the universe; let him behold the earth, a mere dot compared with the vast circuit which that orb describes, and stand amazed to find that the vast circuit itself is but a very fine point compared with the orbit traced by the starts as they roll their course on high.
