"A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively."

"I am the devil's own—his born servant."

"I love all waste and solitary places; where we taste the pleasure of believing what we see is boundless, as we feel our affections."

"I am a lover of Mankind, and a believer in the divinity of man."

"I never met a man who wasn't a beast in comparison to him."
