Genius Is Initiative On Fire.

Originality Is Only Variation.

Books Are Never Out Of Humour; Never Envious Or Jealous, They Answer All Questions With Readiness; ... They Teach Us How To Live And How To Die; They Dispel Melancholy By Their Mirth, And Amuse By Their Wit; They Prepare The Soul To Suffer Everything And Desire Nothing; They Introduce Us To Ourselves.

Pedantry Is The Dotage Of Knowledge.

Genius Is Intuition On Fire.
