“Blessed be the inventor of photography! I set him above even the inventor of chloroform!

And mustn’t it be acting favourably on the morality of the country?”
—Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)

“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”
