I like solitude, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude...”

William Hazlitt Quote: “We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.”
William Hazlitt Quote: “I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it; who sees at once what, in given circumstances, is to be done, and does it.”
William Hazlitt Quote: “General principles are not the less true or important because from their nature they elude immediate observation; they are like the air, which is not the less necessary because we neither see nor feel it.”

William Hazlitt Quote: “The discussing the characters and foibles of common friends is a great sweetness and cement of friendship.”
