Thomas Love Peacock
“There is a time for every thing under the sun. You may as well dine first, and be miserable afterwards.”
Thomas Love Peacock, Nightmare Abbey

Thomas Love Peacock
“And as for the human mind, I deny that it is the same in all men.  I hold that there is every variety of natural capacity from the idiot to Newton and Shakespeare; the mass of mankind, midway between these extremes, being blockheads of different degrees; education leaving them pretty nearly as it found them, with this single difference, that it gives a fixed direction to their stupidity, a sort of incurable wry neck to the thing they call their understanding. ”
Thomas Love Peacock, The Collected Works of Thomas Love Peacock: PergamonMedia

Thomas Love Peacock
“The juice of the grape is the liquid quintessence of concentrated sunbeams.”
Thomas Love Peacock, Melincourt; Or Sir Oran Hautton

Thomas Love Peacock
“I like the immaterial world. I like to live among thoughts and images of the past and the possible, and even of the impossible, now and then.”
Thomas Love Peacock, Gryll Grange

Thomas Love Peacock
“When Scythrop grew up, he was sent, as usual, to a public school, where a little learning was painfully beaten into him, and from thence to the university, where it was carefully taken out of him; and he was sent home like a well-threshed ear of corn, with nothing in his head.”
Thomas Love Peacock, Nightmare Abbey
