Additional quotes by Alexander Pope
Authors are partial to their wit
True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please,
With too much spirit to be e'er at ease,
With too much quickness ever to be taught,
With too much thinking to have common thought:
You purchase pain with all that joy can give,
And die of nothing but a rage to live.
