The Journal of Sir Walter Scott Quotes

― Walter Scott, The Journal of Sir Walter Scott

“People say that the whole human frame in all its parts and divisions is gradually in the act of decaying and renewing. What a curious time-piece it would be that could indicate to us the moment this gradual and insensible change had so completely taken place that no atom was left of the original person but there existed in his stead another person - a new ship built on an old plank. Singular - to be at one another and the same.”
― Walter Scott, The Journal of Sir Walter Scott
