• Professed authors who overestimate their vocation are too full of themselves to be agreeable companions. The demands of their egotism are inveterate. They seem to be incapable of that abandon which is the requisite condition of social pleasure; and bent upon winning a tribute of admiration, or some hint which they can turn to the account of pen-craft, there is seldom in their company any of the delightful unconsciousness which harmonizes a circle.

• The place that does
  Contain my books, the best companions, is
  To me a glorious court, where hourly I
  Converse with the, old sages and philosophers;

  Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
  Unto a strict account; and in my fancy,
  Deface their ill-plac'd statutes.
