—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Disinterested intellectual curiosity is the life blood of real civilisation.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
“There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading ... may be given without first getting the author’s permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.”
