Quotes
- “He who sees only what is before his eyes sees the worst part of every view.”
- “The division between faith and reason is a half-measure, till it is frankly admitted that faith has to do with fiction, and reason with fact.”
- “Poe is a kind of Hawthorne and delirium tremens.”
- “Why, when no honest man will deny in private that every ultimate problem is wrapped in the profoundest mystery, do honest men proclaim in pulpits that unhesitating certainty is the duty of the most foolish and ignorant? Is it not a spectacle to make the angels laugh?”
- “Philistine – a word which I understand properly to denote indifference to the higher intellectual interests. The word may also be defined, however, as the name applied by prigs to the rest of their species.”
- “A good talker, even more than a good orator, implies a good audience. Modern society is too vast and too restless to give a conversationalist a fair chance.”
