I Only Study The Things I Like; I Apply My Mind Only To Matters That Interest Me. They'll Be Useful-or Useless-to Me Or To Others In Due Course, I'll Be Given-or Not Given-the Opportunity Of Benefiting From What I've Learned. In Any Case, I'll Have Enjoyed The Inestimable Advantage Of Doing Things I Like Doing And Following My Own Inclinations.

Where Violence Reigns, Reason Is Weak.
