Genius is independent of situation.
The laws I love; the lawyers I suspect.
He hurts me most who lavishly commends.
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense
Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read.
With curious art the brain, too finely wrought, Preys on herself, and is destroyed by thought.
