"The complaint, therefore, that all topicks are preoccupied,……" — Samuel Johnson

"The complaint, therefore, that all topicks are preoccupied, is nothing more than the murmur of ignorance or idleness, by which some discourage others, and some themselves; the mutability of mankind will always furnish writers with new images, and the luxuriance of fancy may always embellish them with new decorations."

Samuel Johnson
