‘’you really are in a bad way. You don’t know the value of money, you live hard, you’ll knock up one of these days, and be ill and poor; you really ought to think about a nurse’’ - mr. stryver to Sydney his friend

“‘The Centre of Truth’: holding that Man had got out of the Centre of Truth-which did not need much demonstration-but had not got out of the Circumference, and he was to be kept from flying out of the Circumference, and was even to be shoved back into the Center, by fasting and seeing if spirits… Much discoursing with spirits went on-and it did a world of good which never became manifest.”
