beau–brummell:drst:We never fucking learn. This quote is very adorable and written in a way that could definitely be mistaken for something from the late 17th century but it’s actually a fake quote. It does not appear in Pepys’s diary at all. Samuel Pepys definitely wrote about the plague of 1665, although the comparisons between then and now are not as on the nose as this. If you’d like to read what Pepys actually wrote about the plague, and much more, here’s a link detailing all the references to plague in his diary (and notice that they quite obviously increase in 1665). -- source link
