Laurence Sterne Quote
The circumstances with which every thing in this world is begirt, give every thing in this world its size and shape;--and by tightening it, or relaxing it, this way or that, make the thing to be, what it is--great--little--good--bad--indifferent or not indifferent, just as the case happens.
The life and opinions of Tristram Shandy [by L. Sterne]. (ed. 1761)
