    “The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “As far as the arts and the sciences are concerned, the German mind appreciates most highly that which it does not understand of the latter, and that which it does not enjoy of the former.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Poe gives the sense for the first time in America, that literature is serious, not a matter of courtesy but of truth.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
