'When a man has great studies and is writing a great work, he must ofcourse give up seeing much of the world. How can he go about making acquaintances'


OKAY DODO

'I must be uncivil to him'
Dorothea is so straight. I find her funny, I love my characters humorous.

' They were pamphlets about the early church. The oppression of Celia, Tantripp and sir James was shaken off, and she walked straight to the library'

Well Dorothea that was pretty easy🤣

I know it is going to be a great read when it makes me laugh.

'self satisfaction which was last doom of ignorance and folly'

I interepret that she is saying self satisfaction leads to stop questioning yourself and therefore it stop yourself from growing intellectually and real wisdom.

With which I totally agree! But I think a healthy sense self satisfaction is also important to grow and learn more. It also prevents you from getting too stressed about yourself.

"She could not reconcile the anxieties of spiritual life involving eternal consequences with keen interest in guimp and artifical protrusions"

That looks some beautiful line, which I don't understand clearly😭✨️
