Jonathan Swift (c. 1667-1745)
“I dare engage, these creatures have their titles and distinctions of honour; they contrive little nests and burrows, that they call houses and cities; they make a figure in dress and equipage; they love, they fight, they dispute, they cheat, they betray.”
- Gulliver’s Travels (Voyage to Brobdingnag, chapter 3) by Jonathan Swift. New York: Washington Square Press, 1970.
