Samuel Johnson on Gordon Haber*
by Gordon Haber
On Adjunctivitis:
To be sure a man, who has enough without teaching, will probably not teach; for we would all be idle if we could.
On False Economies:
It is not in the showy evolutions of buildings, but in the multiplicity of human habitations which are crouded together, that the wonderful immensity of London consists.
* Okay, so I made that up. It’s just that Boswell’s Johnson is my bedside reading and I liked these quotations.
** Both novellas are available through Amazon in the UK, Australia and Canada.
