第 24 頁 - We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds.
第 61 頁 - A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

We shall not always set so great a price on a few texts, on a few lives. We are like children who repeat by rote the sentences of grandames and tutors, and? as they grow older, of the men of talents and character they chance to see, — painfully recollecting the exact words they spoke ; afterwards, when they come into the point of view which those had who uttered...
