George Eliot
“Truly,” said Mr Lyon, smiling, “the uncertainty of things is a text rather too wide and obvious for fruitful application; and to discourse of it is, as one may say, to bottle up the air and make a present of it to those who are already standing out of doors.”
–Felix Holt, the Radical (p. 380, H.M. Caldwell edition)
