3 quotes from A Journal of the Plague Year
- "I saw old death in all his majesty and all the power of his dominion, and seemed to have a particular assurance of its prevalence; though at a distance, the mightiness of the plague could not intimidate the heart of man."
- "All trades are carried on in the streets, though the plague walks the streets; nor wretches who were starved, nor those who were forced to kill their relatives for want of sufficient subsistence, could help feeling its presence."
- "In the midst of all this confusion, we could not avoid reflecting on the strange contrasts in human life; for it was extraordinary to see both the lofty and the lowly all together, partakers in the calamity, no distinction between the rich and the poor when death is knocking at every door."
