“Put shortly, these are the two views, then. One, that man is intrinsically good, spoilt by circumstance; and the other that he is intrinsically limited, but disciplined by order and tradition to something fairly decent. To the one party man’s nature is like a well, to the other like a bucket. The view which regards him like a well, a reservoir full of possibilities, I call the romantic; the one which regards him as a very finite and fixed creature, I call the classical.”
—Thomas Ernest Hulme (1883–1917)

“The word is the Verb, and the Verb is God.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“She loved Cecil; George made her nervous; will the reader explain to her that the phrases should have been reversed?”
