| | Samuel Pepys. Robert Louis Stevenson. 1909-14. Essays: English and American. The Harvard Classics |
 | | For the difference between Pepys and Shelley, to return to that half whimsical approximation, is one of quality but not one of degree; in his sphere, Pepys felt as keenly, and his is the true prose of poetry—prose because the spirit of the man was narrow and earthly, but poetry because he was delightedly alive. | | | Pepys had his own foundations, sandy enough, but dear to him from practical considerations, and he would read the book with true uneasiness of spirit; for conceive the blow if, by some plaguy accident, this Pen were to convert him! | | | Pepys, when he is with Coventry, talks in the vein of an old Roman. |

| | Pepys mentioned his sister in his diary in May 1668 whilst he was at Brampton. | | | There was therefore a great deal for Pepys to write about and this was doubtless one of the reasons for beginning his diary. | | | His love of order and efficiency made him a man of some importance and he proudly and successfully addressed the Commons on naval matters.His speech to the Commons on March 5th 1668. |

| | Pepys regarded him as “one of the most rational men that ever I heard speak with a tongue, having all his notions the most distinct and clear”. | | | This show is, perhaps inescapably, a commemoration of Samuel Pepys esquire, sometime Secretary to the Navy, President of the Royal Society, Master of Trinity House, the greatest Sir Humphrey of them all. | | | Born in 1633, Pepys was lucky enough to live through one of the most extraordinary periods in English history: the Civil War and Charles I's execution; the rise and fall of Cromwell's Commonwealth; the Restoration of playboy Charles II; and James II's speedy exit when William and Mary appeared. |

| | Samuel Pepys |
| | Pepys was the son of a working tailor who had come to London from Huntingdonshire, in which county, and in Cambridgeshire, his family had lived for centuries as monastic reeves, rent collectors, farmers, and, more recently, small gentry. | | | Pepys wrote his diary in Thomas Shelton's system of shorthand, but he complicated the more secret passages by using foreign languages and a cipher of his own invention. | | | I never could have thought there had been upon earth a man so little curious in the world as he is. He is both Everyman and the recording angel; his diary paints not only his own infirmities but the frailty of all mankind. |

| | SAMUEL PEPYS - Claire Tomalin - Penguin UK |
| | Pepys had a writer’s response to these stories: their subjects lived in his imagination, and in that private place he allowed himself to be melancholy or appalled by their fates. | | | In Samuel Pepys Tomalin traces Pepy's youth and the extraordinary triumphs and disasters that continued for three decades after the diary ended; finally showing how he made sure that the diary would be preserved for posterity. | | | Southampton had died in the agonies of the stone, so Pepys had particular reason to admire this stoicism; he had nothing to say about his spiritual condition. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Special Reports Observer review: Samuel Pepys by Claire Tomalin |
| | This places the Pepys of the beginning of the diary in an interesting light, a young man of 26, with a stall-seat at the Restoration, gained through a lucky family connection to Edward Montagu, later the Earl of Sandwich. | | | Tomalin argues that Pepys's 'gift for comedy makes it easy for us to collude with him'; her reading of the diary is as a sort of saturnalia, 'turning the rigid oughts and ought nots of life upside down'. | | | She proposes that the 'self' of the diary is the best 'self' on offer: 'The diary carries him to the highest point as a hero of an altogether new kind.' Tomalin, importantly, is inclined to believe Pepys's account of himself: 'He allowed himself not a shred of dignity,' she suggests. |

| | The Diary of Samuel Pepys |
| | Pepys was only thirty-seven years of age when he closed his Diary in 1669, and that of the remainder of his life we have no regular account; although the materials for it which exist have encouraged the hope that this portion of the Life may yet be written. | | | Pepys: he accompanied Sir Edward Montagu upon his Expedition to the Sound, in March, 1658, and upon his return obtained a clerkship in the Exchequer. | | | Pepys had been too much personally connected with the King, (who had been so long at the Admiralty,) to retain his situation upon the accession of William and Mary; and he retired into private life' accordingly, but without being followed thither, either by persecution or ill will. |

| | Pepys never considered that his diary would be read by others. | | | With the famous Diary but three months old, Pepys decided to join Montagu; and from then to the end of his life he never lost interest in ships; the sea, sailors or any of the many works connected with them." | | | This suggests that he and Samuel understood each other pretty well... |

| | Samuel Pepys |
| | And when, fearing he might well go blind, Pepys called a halt to the candle-lit summaries of his every day, he locked the journals away. | | | Chiding himself for his impulses to cowardice, greed, lust, sloth; fearful of what the top brass and the neighbors are thinking; privately proud of his moments of bravery, generosity and problem-solving intelligence; usually not quite knowing exactly what to think of himself, Pepys has involuntarily descended down to us as the absolute Everyman. | | | If we except Harry Truman (who either told it like it seemed to him at the time or kept his mouth shut) just one man may claim truly to have told it like it was. |
