It is common to regard authority over persons as centrally involving a right to rule, where that is understood as correlated with an obligation to obey on the part of those subject to authority.

In this way all morals, which require anthropology in order to be applied to humans, must be entirely expounded at first independently of anthropology as pure philosophy, i.e., as metaphysics (which can easily be done in such distinct kinds of knowledge).

I swear this really was on my desk, I'm not just grabbing the most erudite thing on the shelf and pretending.
Just why a book was closest at hand might make for a good second round. I had just read something online that made liberal use of hendiadys, so I thought, "I remember where I first came across the word for that," and pulled the Prufer off the shelf to reread the essay where I had seen it (a brilliant two-and-a-half page essay on Plato and Heidegger, if you're curious). The sentence on page 23, however, is from an essay, "Notes on Nature: The City and the Garden, Nature and Gods in Epicureanism, Hobbes's Sovereign Teaching," that I haven't read.

I imagine that my dictionary was nearest to me because some time in the past 8 months I wanted to look something up in Latin, and never moved it. The other two books on my desk (The Nothingness Beyond God and Being and Nothingness, IIRC) are there because when I got them that space in my room was clear, and I haven't moved them since.
Right now the answer's "Since tragedy is a mimesis of men bettter than ourselves, the example set by good portrait-painters should be followed: they, while rendering the individual physique realistically, improve on their subjects' beauty.", from Aristotle's Poetics, excerpted in Philosophy of Literature ed.

Ah, that brings up another possibility: recording the fifth sentence on the 23rd page of the nearest book at regular intervals. That would make for an interesting journal.

The nearest book to me is a Latin dictionary. It doesn't even have proper sentences.

Also, I regret to report that sentence five, line 23 of "Lord Jim" is quite forgettable.
