“Tis the most difficult thing in the world to me to write a letter. My stomach continues so bad, that I feel it worse on opening any book – yet I am much better than I was in Quarantine. Then I am afraid to encounter the proing and conning of any thing interesting to me in England. I have an habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am leading a posthumous existence”

“Notte e giorno desidero che venga la morte a liberarmi da questi dolori, ma poi no, perché la morte distruggerebbe quei dolori che sono pur sempre meglio di niente. La terra, il mare, la debolezza e la malattia possono certo dividere, ma mai come la morte, che è per sempre. Il prendere coscienza di tanto strazio è in pratica come provare in anticipo l'amarezza della morte. (28 settembre 1820)”

“Sono le nostre passioni e i nostri sentimenti violenti a evocare e incoraggiare le sofferenze immaginarie: quelle reali vengono da sé, e la mente può contrastarle concentrandosi e applicandosi con tenacia.
