“Among many reasons for being stupid it may be urged, it is being like other people, and living like one's neighbours, and indeed without it, it may be difficult to love some neighbours as oneself: now seeing the necessity of being dull, you won't, I hope, take it amiss that you find me so.” PeopleMayReasonDifficultSeeingStupidOneselfStupidityDullFind MeNeighbourBeing Stupid Author:Elizabeth Montagu
