Johnson: "Yes, sir."
Boswell: "He has a singular talent of exhihiting character."
Johnson. "Sir, it is not a talent; it is a vice; it is what others abstain from. It is not comedy, which exhibits the character of a species, as that of a miser gathered from many misers: it is farce which exhihits individuals."
Boswell. " Did not he think of exhibiting you, sir?"
Johnson. "Sir, fear restrained him; he knew I would have broken his bones. I would have saved him the trouble of cutting off a leg ; I would not have left him a leg to cut off."
--Boswell, Life of Johnson
