He is a hypocrite who professes what he does not believe; not he who does not practice all he wishes or approves.
William HazlittThere is nothing so remote from vanity as true genius. It is almost as natural for those who are endowed with the highest powers of the human mind to produce the miracles of art, as for other men to breathe or move. Correggio, who is said to have produced some of his divinest works almost without having seen a picture, probably did not know that he had done anything extraordinary.
William HazlittWhat is popular is not necessarily vulgar; and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in general much better remain where it is.
