"Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed."
The Rambler (1750–1752)
Samuel Johnson was born #OTD in 1709. English critic, biographer, essayist, poet, and lexicographer, regarded as one of the greatest figures of 18th-century life and letters. Johnson once characterized literary biographies as “mournful narratives,” and he believed that he lived “a life radically wretched.” via @Briatannica
