Wish I'd said that - September 4, 2020

“I could, perhaps, like others, have astonished thee with strange improbable tales; but I rather chose to relate plain matter of fact… because my principal design was to inform, and not to amuse thee…. a traveller’s chief aim should be to make men wiser and better, and to improve their minds by the bad, as well as good, example of what they deliver concerning foreign places.”

Jonathan Swift Gulliver’s Travels
