To one man a stream is so much water-power, to another a rendezvous for lovers.
The public can only be really moved by what is genuine.
Literature delivers tidings of the world within and the world without.
Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength.
Science is not addressed to poets.
It is unhappily true that much insincere Literature and Art, executed solely with a view to effect, does succeed by deceiving the public.
