• Al pasar por los muros laterales de la Abadía de Westminster, apenas vi otra cosa que monumentos de mármol de grandes almirantes, pero todos demasiado cargados de galas y ornamentos para causar en mí, al menos, la impresión deseada.

• La Abadía de Westminster, la Torre, un campanario, una iglesia, y luego otra, se presentaron a nuestra vista; y ahora podíamos distinguir claramente las altas chimeneas redondas en las cimas de las casas, que sin embargo nos parecían formar un número innumerable de pequeñas agujas, o campanarios.

• Es espeluznante estar casi solo en la Abadía de Westminster. Sin turistas, sólo están los muertos, muchos de ellos reyes y reinas. Hablan con fuerza y ponen mis pensamientos en perspectiva.

• Commemorative stone in the floor of the Chapel of St. George in Westminster Abbey, London, dedicated in 1947: TO THE MEMORY OF ROBERT Baden-Powell CHIEF SCOUT OF THE WORLD 1857-1941 Upon one side of the stone was the badge of the Boy Scouts, the arrow-head to point the true way as it had pointed the way for sailors and navigators from the time of the earliest maps; and on the other the badge of the Girl Guides-the three-leafed clover.

• In the firm expectation that when London shall be a habitation of bitterns, when St. Paul and Westminster Abbey shall stand shapeless and nameless ruins in the midst of an unpeopled marsh, when the piers of Waterloo Bridge shall become the nuclei of islets of reeds and osiers, and cast the jagged shadows of their broken arches on the solitary stream, some Transatlantic commentator will be weighing in the scales of some new and now unimagined system of criticism the respective merits of the Bells and the Fudges and their historians.

• There is laughter that goes so far as to lose all touch with its motive, and to exist only, grossly, in itself. This is laughter at its best. A man to whom such laughter has often been granted may happen to die in a work-house. No matter. I will not admit that he has failed in life. Another man, who has never laughed thus, may be buried in Westminster Abbey, leaving more than a million pounds overhead. What then? I regard him as a failure.

• Darwin was one of our finest specimens. He did superbly what human beings are designed to do: manipulate social information to personal advantage. The information in question was the prevailing account of how human beings, and all organisms, came to exist; Darwin reshaped it in a way that radically raised his social status. When he died in 1882, his greatness was acclaimed in newspapers around the world, and he was buried in Westminster Abbey, not far from the body of Isaac Newton. Alpha-male territory.
