William Hazlitt
301 citations

I am not, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, a good-natured man; that is, many things annoy me besides what interferes with my own ease and interest. I hate a lie; a piece of injustice wounds me to the quick, though nothing but the report of it reach me. Therefore I have made many enemies and few friends; for the public know nothing of well-wishers, and keep a wary eye on those who would reform them. ✨ William Hazlitt (1826). The plain speaker: opinions on books, men, and things [by W. Hazlitt]., p.364
