Essays by Thomas Browne

Of affection

United souls are not satisfied with embraces, but desire to be truly each other.

Of death

In expectation of a better, I can with patience embrace this life; yet, in my best meditations, do often defy death

Of God in nature

There are two books from whence I collect my divinity. Besides that written one of God, another of his servant, nature.

Of life

There is surely a piece of divinity in us; something that was before the elements.

Of toleration

Where we desire to be informed, ’tis good to contest with men above ourselves.
