“The more rapidly truth is spread among mankind the better it will be for them. Only let us be sure that it is the truth.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Never in my life have I met anyone who did not agree that Emerson is an inspiring writer. One may not accept his thought in toto, but one comes away from a reading of him purified, so to say, and exalted. He takes you to the heights, he gives you wings. He is daring, very daring. In our day he would be muzzled, I am certain.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
