Re: Bill O'Reilly
There are of course several "Good Doctors"; but the one I had in mind was Sameul Johnson, who wrote:
"Nothing is more despicable than the old age of a passionate man.* When the vigour of youth fails him, and his amusements pall with frequent repetition, his occasional rage sinks by decay of strength into peevishness; that peevishness, for want of novelty and variety, becomes habitual; the world falls off from around him, and he is left, as Homer expresses it, to devour his own heart in solitude and contempt."
Johnson: Rambler #11 (April 24, 1750)
