The Real People Of Genius Were Resolute

Ideas Are Forces; Our Acceptance Of One Determines Our Reception Of Others.

Vehemence Without Feeling Is But Rant.

As All Art Depends On Vision, So The Different Kinds Of Art Depend On The Different Ways In Which Minds Look At Things.

Our Native Susceptibilities And Acquired Tastes Determine Which Of The Many Qualities In An Object Shall Most Impress Us, And Be Most Clearly Recalled. One Man Remembers The Combustible Properties Of A Substance, Which To Another Is Memorable For Its Polarising Property; To One Man A Stream Is So Much Water-power, To Another A Rendezvous For Lovers.

Books Minister To Our Knowledge, To Our Guidance, And To Our Delight, By Their Truth, Their Uprightness, And Their Art.
