Excerpt from Dialogues of the Dead
Sometimes a new dress may render an old truth more pleasing to those whom the mere love of novelty betrays into error, as it frequently does not only the wits, but the sages of these days. Indeed, one of the best services that could now be done to mankind by any good writer would be the bringing them back to common sense, from which the desire of shining by extraordinary, notions has seduced great numbers, to the no small detriment of morality and of all real knowledge.
