“I am ashes where once I was fire...”

“I am at length joined to Bologna, where I am settled like a sausage.”

“I am so changeable, being everything by turns and nothing long - such a strange melange of good and evil.”

“Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb; and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.”

“Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog. ”

“In solitude, where we are least alone.”

“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.”
