    Of course you’re always at liberty to judge the critic. Judge people as critics, however, and you’ll condemn them all!
    Henry James (1843–1916)

    If the study of all these sciences, which we have enumerated, should ever bring us to their mutual association and relationship, and teach us the nature of the ties which bind them together, I believe that the diligent treatment of them will forward the objects which we have in view, and that the labor, which otherwise would be fruitless, will be well bestowed.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
