“When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.”

“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their countrys pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?1774)
“Mr. Whistler always spelt art, and we believe still spells it, with a capital I.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
