Samuel Johnson's quotes
About Samuel Johnson
He was the original rockstar of words. A towering 18th-century figure, Samuel Johnson was a writer, critic, and wit who took nine years to single-handedly compile a massive "Dictionary of the English Language"—a revolutionary feat. Famous for his booming voice and brilliant, often brutal, one-liners, he defined not just words, but an entire era of English literature. Reading Johnson is like getting a masterclass in intelligence and humor from the man who wrote the book on it. (1709-1784).
