The other day I made a maxim off-hand without once thinking of it; and I liked it so well that I fancied I had taken it out of M. de La Rochefoucauld’s; … Pray where did this come from? have I read it? or did I dream it? or is it my own idea? Nothing can be truer than the thing itself, nor than that I am totally ignorant how I came by it. I found it properly arranged in my brain, and at the end of my tongue.
