What has shaken me is not that you lied to me, but that I no longer believe you.

I would rather excel in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and possessions.

He feels the need to hear a human voice—a fully human voice like his own. Sometimes he laughs like a hyena or roars like a lion—his idea of a hyena his idea of a lion.

Nothing, of course, will ever take the place of the good old fashion of 'liking' a work of art or not liking it; the more improved criticism will not abolish that primitive, that ultimate, test.
