    Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he accommodates himself to a society in which it is not polite to display wit.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Nothing more powerfully excites any affection than to conceal some part of its object, by throwing it into a kind of shade, which at the same time that it shows enough to prepossess us in favour of the object, leaves still some work for the imagination.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
