To see the convulsions, agonies and tortures of a poor fellow-creature, whom they cannot restore nor recompense, dying to gratify luxury and tickle callous and rank organs, must require a rocky heart, and a great degree of cruelty and ferocity. I cannot find any great difference between feeding on human flesh and feeding on animal flesh, except custom and practice.

If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?

Tis a good thing to laugh at any rate, and if a straw can tickle a man, it is an instrument of happiness.

Most people have ears, but few have judgment; tickle those ears, and depend upon it, you will catch those judgments, such as they are.
