“Tobacco, divine, rare, superexcellent tobacco, which goes far beyond all the panaceas, potable gold, and philosophers stones, a sovereign remedy to all diseases ... but as it is commonly abused by most men, which take it as tinkers do ale, tis a plague, a mischief, a violent purger of goods, lands, health; hellish, devilish and damned tobacco, the ruin and overthrow of body and soul.”
—Robert Burton (15771640)
“He was thoughtful and gravebut the orders he gave
Were enough to bewilder a crew.
When he cried Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!
What on earth was the helmsman to do?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
