"I am not fond of arguments, because they are generally productive of more heat than light."
"For what the world calls virtue, is but a compound of vices."
"The stoical scheme of supplying our wants, by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes."
"She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on her with a pitchfork."
"Reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion, which by reasoning he never acquired."
Anglo-Irish satirist and Dean of Dublin's St Patrick's Cathedral whose Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729) are the canonical English-language satires. Closely associated with Alexander Pope (Scriblerus Club poet and collaborator) and John Gay (Beggar's Opera author and satirical contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see Daniel Defoe, English Whig journalist and Robinson Crusoe author (1660-1731) — Defoe's Crusoe (1719) celebrates Enlightenment self-reliance and the colonial-mercantile project; Swift's Gulliver (1726) systematically dismantles every form of human pretension Defoe celebrated. The cleanest Augustan Whig-vs-Tory literary pairing — optimistic-empirical vs misanthropic-satirical.
